胡锦涛要美国拿加州抵债？
美债台高筑 新闻周刊网站登讽刺文章 当头棒喝亦庄亦谐
【本报讯】美国的外债年年暴涨，31日达到8兆3000亿元，其中，日本和中国分列第一和第二债主。今天每个美国人平均欠「老外」2万8000元，国会最近新修的外债上限冲破九兆元，布希总统也签了字。美国人靠外债过好日子，上下一副债多不愁的样子。
其实警告声声不断，灾难剧本也不少，其中之一是，外国不会无限借钱给美国，万一他们真来要债，怎麽办？最新一期「新闻周刊」网站刊出知名专栏作家波洛维兹的一篇讽刺文章，内容像是一首狂想曲，标题「中国来收债了」，亦庄亦谐，给债台一天高过一天，好日我自过之的老美一记棒喝。
这篇文章说，北京拥有美国与日俱增的大笔外债，是一枚定时炸弹，有人担心美国因此凡事得看对方脸色，硬不起来，例如两边为台湾闹翻，北京拿债权当筹码，华府拿人手软，就矮半截。不过，外债剧本也有比较文一点的。
文章假设，北京30日向美国发出收债通知，美国没钱，胡锦涛於是要华府拿加州抵债。美国的西岸要变中国的东岸了。
根据明尼苏达大学经济学家洛格斯顿之见，华府签字让出加州，经济上大利中美关系：北京将成为好莱坞老板，双方一直恶言相向的盗版CD和DVD问题自动解决。
政治方面，丢掉加州，对共和党是好消息，因为加州在过去几届总统大选老是投民主党，现在顺水推舟，去之可也。
不过，这对州长阿诺．史瓦辛格却不是好事。史瓦辛格一位亲信说，史瓦辛格当年从奥地利乡下来到美国，这辈子大梦就是当白宫主人，好不容易有了今天，他不希望又要从头从中国再辛苦一遍。
布希也许是拗不过史瓦辛格，就慷他党之慨，情商北京能不能割爱加州，改拿纽约州和麻州。这两地是民主党票仓。
胡锦涛不含糊，他发表斩钉截铁的两字声明：「不换。」
【本报系编译彭淮栋综合电讯报导】北京向美国要债，指定华府拿「金州」加州来抵偿？狂想如果成真，胡锦涛可谓眼光狠准。
加州当初是印第安人和欧洲移民合住之地，先由西班牙治理，1821年墨西哥打赢独立战争，加州归墨西哥，1848年美墨战争後，加州由美国出钱买下，1850年成为美国第31州。
加州面积41万平方公里，是美国第叁大州，首府在沙加缅度，全州人口3600万，为全美之冠。
加州是美国科技和文化核心，人口多样化堪称世界第一，经济活力尤其惊人，人均所得超过叁万元，全州产值1兆5500亿元，占美国国内生产总值(GDP)17%，如果是独立国家，将是仅次於美国、日本、德国、英国、中国、法国的世界第七大经济体。
China Calls In U.S. Loans, Demands California
Golden State could become Middle Kingdom’s east coast
WEB-EXCLUSIVE SATIRE
By Andy Borowitz
Special to Newsweek
Updated: 10:43 a.m. PT May 30, 2006
May 30, 2006 - In a move expected to roil the world economy, China today called in all of its loans to the United States and demanded the State of California as repayment.
For years, economists have seen the U.S.'s heavy debt burden to China as something of a ticking time bomb, but few anticipated that Chinese President Hu Jintao would insist that the U.S. repay the loans by signing over ownership of the Golden State.
According to University of Minnesota economist Davis Logsdon, owning California would give the Chinese an opportunity to reverse its longstanding relationship with the U.S.: "China would own the Hollywood film business, and the U.S. would have to settle for pirated DVDs."
Losing California could be good news for Republicans, since the state has voted blue in the last few presidential elections and is home to such high-profile Hollywood liberals as Barbra Streisand and Steven Spielberg.
But the move could be bad news for California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, according to one aide, "has spent his entire life trying to become President of the United States and doesn't want to start all over again in China."
Perhaps responding to pressure from Gov. Schwarzenegger, President Bush today asked China if it would drop its demand for California and instead accept two other blue states, New York and Massachusetts.
President Hu responded with a two-word statement that seemed to indicate that China would not waver in its demand: "No substitutions."
Elsewhere, in a move that may discourage future immigration to the United States, Paris Hilton announced that she would release an album of her singing.
