20 0 1年 ,在美国经济衰退的冲击下 ,全球经济阴云笼罩 ,衰退已成定局。这次世界经济衰退是在经济全球化和信息化背景下发生的。九一一事件并非是触发全球经济衰退的原因 ,但它起了推波助澜的作用。东亚地区除中国外 ,也普遍陷入衰退。过度依赖美国及电子产品出口 ,使东亚经济变得日益脆弱。世界经济低速状况短期内不会好转 ,它在很大程度上取决于美国经济何时复苏。据估计 ,至少要到 2 0 0 2年中期 ,全球经济才能走出衰退阴影。 In 2010, under the impact of the U.S. economic recession, the global economy is in a dark cloud and the recession is a foregone conclusion. The world economic recession took place in the context of economic globalization and informationization. The September 11 incident was not the reason that triggered the global economic downturn, but it played a role in fueling the crisis. In addition to China, East Asia is also generally in a recession. Over-reliance on the United States and exports of electronic products has made East Asia’s economy increasingly vulnerable. The slowdown in the world economy will not improve in the short term and it depends very much on when the U.S. economy will recover. It is estimated that at least until the middle of 2002, the global economy can emerge from the shadow of a recession.
