As a result, the "Asian Century" has already begun, according to some measures: 2020 was the first time in two centuries that Asian GDP, as a share of world GDP at purchasing-power parity, was higher than that of the rest of the world. The historical importance of this evolution cannot be underestimated. The last time Asia dominated the world economy was in the early 19th century, as the First Industrial Revolution got under way. Today, at the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Asia is reconnecting with the dominant position it held for millennia.
结果,根据一些指标,“亚洲世纪”已经开始:2020年是两个世纪以来亚洲GDP占世界GDP的比例(按购买力平价计算)首次高于世界其他地区的一年
But how did China achieve this success? The system that enabled it to leap ahead could be summarized as "state capitalism." It is undeniably capitalist, as the private sector produces more than 60% of GDP in China. But the system is also state-dominated, as the state retains its primacy over other stakeholders in at least three ways. It keeps a strong hand in the distribution of both resources and opportunities. It can intervene in virtually any industry. And it can direct the economy by means of large-scale infrastructure, research and development, and education, health care or housing projects.
但中国是如何取得这样的成功的呢?使中国得以飞跃的体制可以概括为“国家资本主义”
This state capitalist system contrasts to the system of "shareholder capitalism" dominant in the U.S. and much of the Western world. In that system, the interests of shareholders dominate over all others. Companies operate with the purpose of returning the highest possible dividends to shareholders. And, the theory goes, the invisible hand of the market ensures the outcomes for society are optimal. In the 1980s and 1990s, shareholder primacy led to a long period of economic growth in the U.S. and turned it into the most prosperous nation on earth.
这种国家资本主义制度与在美国和大部分西方世界占主导地位的“股东资本主义”制度形成鲜明对比
