Are countries signing up for China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), or for America’s Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Will China be welcomed, or humiliatingly rebuffed, in its effort to persuade the International Monetary Fund to include the renminbi in its unit of account, Special Drawing Rights (SDR)?
中国和美国看待亚太关系就是如此：零和博弈。各国要在中国的亚洲基础设施投资银行（亚投行）还是美国的跨太平洋合作伙伴关系（TPP）上签字？中国说服国际货币基金组织（IMF）将人民币纳入其账户单位——特别提款权（SDR）的尝试会获得欢迎，还是被耻辱性地拒绝？美国还是世界最大经济体地位吗？2014年中国到底有没有超过它？
