＜米中＞製造業の衰退は「戦争」敗退の原因になる―米紙
2月13日18時45分配信 Record China
2009年2月11日、米テネシー州の地元紙「Tennessean」は（電子版）は、中国との軍事戦争が勃発した場合、製造業が衰退した米国は必ず負けるとする会計学教授の投稿を掲載した。12日付で中国紙・環球時報が伝えた。
この教授は、「製造業の生産拠点のほとんどは中国など人件費の安い国に移され、米国の製造業は衰退した」と米企業のやり方を批判する。さらに「今世紀中に中国との軍事衝突は必ず勃発するが、これがあだとなって米国は必ず負ける」と予測。これを回避するために「オバマ政権は保護貿易主義に走るしかない」と主張した。米議会ではちょうど道路などの公共事業で米国製品の購入を義務付ける「バイ・アメリカン条項」が審議されたばかり。
これに対し環球時報は、中国社会科学院米国経済研究室の陳宝森（チェン・バオセン）研究員の見解として「ハイエンド製品の生産拠点は米国だ。総合的に見て米国の製造業は衰退していない」と反論。保護貿易主義に傾いている米国を「そんなやり方は通用しない」と批判した。

China is winning trade war, and it could cost U.S. dearly
By Grover L. Porter, Ph.D. • February 11, 2009

"World stands on verge of another trade war" (The Tennessean, Feb. 2) — actually, there has been a trade war for decades that China has been winning at the expense of America.
Corporate executives have been shifting manufacturing jobs to China and other Third World countries where the cost of labor is less expensive. This allows the corporations to report higher profits. This increases the bonuses and value of stock options of corporate executives.
Although Walmart is not the only corporate culprit, the purchasing policies of Walmart have encouraged manufacturers to outsource the production of their products. In order to obtain Walmart contracts, American companies are frequently coerced by Walmart to open factories in China. This resulted in hundreds of manufacturing companies in Tennessee going out of business and thousands of Tennesseans losing their jobs.
In the mid-1990s, Walmart had a "Buy American" campaign. But by 2005, about 60 percent of Walmart's merchandise was imported, compared with 6 percent in 1995. In 2006, Walmart imported $27 billion of Chinese goods. Walmart's deficit with China alone eliminated nearly 200,000 American jobs between 2001-2006.
The short-term effect of the outsourcing policies of Walmart and other corporations has had a serious impact on the American economy. However, the long-term effect could result in destroying the manufacturing might of America.
I was a soldier in the U.S. Army in the 1950s. I remember how the communist Chinese Army turned our victory into defeat during the Korean War. There would be a united Korea today if China had not intervened during the Korean War.
We are experiencing a trade war with China. It may not occur in my lifetime, but I predict China and America will be in another military war this century. Without viable manufacturers in America, our military men and women will be severely disadvantaged in the next war with China.
The security of America demands that President Obama meet with Walmart executives ("Sustainability is priority for new Walmart CEO," The Tennessean, Feb. 2) and other leading corporate executives and strongly encourage them to return to a "Buy American" policy.
