FT社评：封杀华为欠思考

China and the US are going through very different types of leadership transition amid the backdrop of a slowing world economy. Neither can afford these trade frictions. Last week, Barack Obama banned a Chinese company from acquiring four wind farms since they are close to a US drone testing facility – the first such action in 22 years. Two weeks earlier he issued a complaint on subsidies against Chinese car parts suppliers to the World Trade Organisation. Mitt Romney promises to brand China a currency manipulator on his first day in office. He accuses China of wholesale intellectual property theft.

中国和美国国内，分别在上演两种完全不同类型的权力交替，与此同时，世界经济正在放缓。两国都无法承担此类贸易摩擦带来的后果。上周，巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)禁止一家中国企业收购美国的4家风电厂，理由是风电厂的位置靠近一个无人机试验场所。这是22年来头一回发生这样的事情。两周前，奥巴马向世界贸易组织(WTO)申诉，指控中国政府为本国汽车零部件供应商提供出口补贴。米特·罗姆尼(Mitt Romney)承诺，他上任后头一件事就是宣布中国为汇率操纵国。罗姆尼还指控中国大量盗窃知识产权。

There is truth to some of this. But Washington should also keep the larger picture in mind. Whatever the merits of the case against Huawei and ZTE, the risks of a trade war must be contained.
