When the United States and Korea(SOK) announced their new free-trade agreement last month, the news was mainly economiC、The deal would giveAmerican farmers and bankers alike better access to Korean consumers and help Korean companies push more electronics, cars and textiles into the United States. Largely unreported was the political angle--the U.S.-Korea(SOK) free trade agreement comes at precisely the moment whenAmerica’s military presence on the Korean Peninsula is rapidly diminishing, anti-U.S. nationalism in Korea(SOK) is growing andChina is playing an ever more important leadership role in the region. This FTA、is much more significant in strategic than economic terms.
It is the same about any number of trade deals inAsia these days. While free-trade agreements have always been somewhat political, solidifying national relationships, the use of FTAs in geopolitical jockeying(竞赛) is reaching new heights inEastAsiA、Since 1997, the number of FTAs in the region has risen from seven to 38. Last time we saw this sort of frenzied bilateral activity was back in the 1930s. That worries some economists, who fear that all the free-trade politicking will further erode an already beleaguered global trading system, and create a snowball effect of countermeasures.
It’s no accident that the activity in the region has increased since 2004, which marked the beginning of a massive free trade agreement betweenChina and theAssociation of SoutheastAsian Nations.China offered countries like Laos andCambodia an "early harvest," unilaterally opening up markets for hundreds of different kinds of agricultural products. That in turn helped smooth the way for a reduction in tension in hot spots like the disputed SouthChina Sea territories. FTAs are becoming a key instrument for great-power diplomacy.
That worries rivals, who are rushing to find their own partners. The Japanese, for example, have always been cautious when it comes to bilateral agreements. Japanese Prime Minister ShinzoAbe recently announced a new push for more Japanese FTAs in the region. Meanwhile, theEU is trying desperately to push its way back into the region, recently announcing plans to negotiate its own deals with both South Korea and theASEAN nations.
How will all the wheeling and dealing end Not with more efficient trading.A、recent map ofAsian trade deals shows an increasingly complicated "spaghetti bowl" hindering broader global efforts to liberalize trade. Such deals have a disproportionately negative effect on small and medium-sized enterprises, representing as much as 80 percent of jobs in some parts ofAsiA、Already, the U.S.-Korea(SOK) deal is causing grousing(不满) in Japan, which would take a hit as Korean competitors no longer have. to deal with U.S. tariffs. Still, that probably won’t turn the tide -- the most important criterion in motivating a country to seek FTAs, well ahead of economic reform, was--surprise --politics.
By signing a massive FFA、withASEAN nations,China tends to ______.A．settle territorial issues withASEAN nations by offering them some economy privileges.
B．fulfill its international responsibilities as a great-power to helpASEAN nations.
C．make use of the agreements to reach its political and economical objectives.
D．use the agreements to exercise its political and economical power overASEAN nations.

网考网解析：
本题为推理判断题。文章第3段最后一句话说：“FTA日趋成为大国外交政策的核心手段。”本段还提到中国与老挝、柬埔寨等国家签订FTA，达到了经济和政治目的。A和B项只是其中原因之一，均不全面。C项才是对A、B两项的概括总结。D项说，中国是为了以其实力控制东南亚国家，与作者意思不符，应排除。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
