after the u.s. house of representatives passed a bill aimed at retaliatory(报复的) action against china for its “significantly undervalued” currency, treasury secretary timothy geithner urged the imf to pressure china to adopt “more flexible, more market-directed exchange-rate management”. this is a coded message to china: you’re keeping on purpose your currency cheap, and the u.s. economy is paying the price. so cut it out --- or else. the normally dull imf meeting became the latest battleground for the u.s. to be against a fast developing china.
our new conventional wisdom is that china’s policy leads to make trade deficits (逆差) greater and the loss of american jobs. dozens of candidates have run ads attacking a competitor for allowing china to take advantage of us. in the election-year view, china grew 10% annually for the past decade while maintaining low inflation(通涨) only by taking advantage of its artificially low currency. the idea that the u.s. is not responsible for its own economy is a black-is-white view. it argues that china and its currency are causing the lion’s share of harm.
this is an argument born of fear. it covers a fact that the economies of china and the u.s. have become beneficial to each other. those trillions in reserves that china accumulates: where do they go? back to the u.s. in the form of lending money to the federal government. those made-in-china goods that account for the trade deficit: whom do they benefit? china, yes, but also american consumers and companies. without china, american companies could not have maintained their profitability in recent years. take two brand names, caterpillar and nike. both have their products made in china, but both also view china as a fast-growing market for their products.
george soros warned recently that a currency war could put the world into disorder more damaging than anything caused by the financial crisis of the 1930s. he’s right. whether we like it or not, we live in a global system. the zero-sum attitude toward china and its currency is a relic, the remaining of an earlier time when nations defined economic life.
china is far from perfect and seeks its own advantage, but holding it accountable for our domestic problems is *** outdated. it reflects a dangerous refusal to deal with the world as it is. retaliating against china over currency will not regain high-end jobs in the u.s., which needs more our own demand. it will not renew construction or retool the american labor force. it will not rebuild rotting bridges or create a next-generation energy network.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — The House of Representatives, which p
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 — The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being " the People’s House" has been turning into, a rich men’s club.
The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study on the members’ financial reports.
Behind this remarkable swing, the study says, there are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women to amount successful challenges to entrenched office holders.
One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.
"The lower chamber is going upper class," said Mark Green, the President of the Democracy Project, a public policy institute based in New York. ".But this evolution from a House of Representa­tives to a House of Lords denies the diversity of our democracy. It establishes a de facto property qual­ification for office that increasingly says: The people with low and middle income need not apply. "
The Democracy Project produced the study in cooperation with the United States Public Interests Research Group, a similar institute situated in Washington. But their research was not entirely theo­retical. In 1980 Mr. Green was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress in New York’s 15th District, in Manhattan. The winner was. Bill Green, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
