Reicher sein als China

Monday, 18.9.2006

Was tun gegen Chinas Aufstieg zur Weltmacht? “… Wenn wir wollen, dass China nach unseren Regeln spielt – Verbot von Kinderarbeit, freie Parteien und Gewerkschaften, faire Löhne -, dann müssen wir reicher sein als China.

Noch lohnt es sich, Missstände in China anzuprangern, denn je deutlicher wir das tun, desto mehr zwingen wir Peking im Sinne seiner eigenen Strategie zum Einlenken. Zudem sollten wir Bünde mit jenen schließen, die so denken wie wir. Deswegen ist die amerikanisch-europäische Freihandelszone eine gute Idee, die ‘Spiegel’-Redakteur Gabor Steingart in seinem Buch ‘Weltkrieg um Wohlstand’ vorschlägt …” Von Christoph Keese (Die Welt).
