China-Brazil

FT: 中國與巴西磋商消除貿易壁壘
FT：社評-巴西與中國能否雙贏？

貿易報復是一種可能採取的戰術。的確，去年底巴西啟動的144項反傾銷調查中，有50項是針對中國的。但這也是一條危險的道路。另一種方式是扶持配套產業的發展，就像其它成功的大宗商品生產國所做的那樣。石油資源豐富的挪威，擁有卓越的深水工程技術，可以出口該領域的專長。一度以甜橙聞名的以色列，如今更以該國為種植橙樹而開發的灌溉技術而出名。巴西的比較優勢在於該國的農業科學領域。

Trade retaliation is a tactical possibility. Indeed, of the 144 anti-dumping investigations that Brazil launched at the end of last year, 50 were against China. But this is also a dangerous path. An alternative is to foster complementary industries, as other successful commodity producers have done. Norway, rich in oil, has an exportable excellence in deep water engineering. Israel, once famous for oranges, is now better known for the irrigation technology it developed to grow them. Brazil's comparative advantage lies in agricultural sciences.
