Davos, which many in Asia consider to be a rich man's club dominated by “western thinking”, proved the perfect venue last year for Wen Jiabao, China's premier, to let off steam. After years of being lectured about the virtues of free markets and financial deregulation, Mr Wen turned the table on his hosts, lacerating the west for bringing the world to the brink of crisis with lax oversight, profligate fiscal policy and the “blind pursuit of profit”. Together with Vladimir Putin, Russia's then-buoyant prime minister, he used Davos to send a message about the crumbling state of the old order and the shift to something new.
被許多亞洲人視作一個(gè)由“西方思維”主導(dǎo)的富人俱樂(lè)部的達(dá)沃斯論壇,在去年卻成為中國(guó)總理溫家寶發(fā)揮的理想場(chǎng)所。在聽(tīng)了有關(guān)自由市場(chǎng)和放松金融監(jiān)管益處的說(shuō)教多年之后,溫家寶反客為主,在那次論壇上,斥責(zé)西方國(guó)家監(jiān)管松懈、財(cái)政政策揮霍無(wú)度和“盲目逐利”,把世界帶到了危機(jī)邊緣。他與當(dāng)時(shí)心情愉快的俄羅斯總理弗拉基米爾?普京(Vladimir Putin)一起,利用達(dá)沃斯發(fā)出了一個(gè)信號(hào):舊秩序正在瓦解,某種新的秩序正在形成。
