To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies, and the subsequent pressure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir to launch an all-out attack on the West as the source of the problem. He even alleges that the United States has deliberately destabilized Southeast Asian economies in revenge for these nations, pandering to the military rule in Myanmar, an action which the United States seems to want censored rather than rewarded. But by resorting to such scapegoat, instead of accepting even a bit responsibility, the Prime Minister.may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia in particular.
Upon further questioning, Dr. Mahathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual, the well known philanthropist, Mr. George Soros, whose opposition to Myanmar's admission to ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)Mahathir found particularly galling. The logical fallacies that underlie such conspiracy theories do not help Malaysia address the serious issues of economic overheating that experts have been warning about for all these difficult periods, which include large deficits and low savings to debt ratios. In fact, the recent dramatic drop in Malaysia's stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to reverse his initial approach to the crisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quite aware of excesses in his own administration's spending policies that have contributed to this crisis of confidence. In the end, this kind of reaction undermines the esteem that Dr. Mahathir's enlightened leadership has justly earned.
It is implied in the first paragraph that Dr. Mahathir ______.
A.has correctly identified the financial problem in Asia
B.tries to manipulate anti-Western actions for political gains
C.detests the U. S. 's controlling over the regional economies
D.believes in the effect of the ghostly influence from the West
A.The ancestors of some of the Thai people are Chinese.
B.Some of the Thai people have immigrated from China.
C.Some of the Thai people have relatives and friends in China.
