American families are hurting, and elected officials want to pin the blame on China, thereby deflecting attention from the difficult task of rebuilding saving, restoring competitiveness, and living within the country’s means. Indeed, one could argue that it is the American public that is being manipulated by the erroneous charges leveled at China.
政客们都非常嗜好一些简明有力的信息。但那些信息往往都言过其实。众多美国家庭正在受害，而选举产生的官员则希望把指责推到中国身上，并以此把民众的注意力从重建储蓄，恢复竞争力以及量入为出等艰巨任务上引开。事实上，可以说正是美国公众被那些瞄准中国的错误指控所操纵了。
