Eastern Europe's Troubles Open Door for Japanese Expansion
面对东欧经济困境和资本需求，美欧敦促日本提供援助，但日本将利用这一长期机会，从美国转向1992年统一欧洲市场，进行更深入的经济扩张。
Faced with the mounting problems of Eastern Europe's sick economies and their urgent need for capital, America and the EC nations have importuned a newly rich Japan to send help. Tokyo has agreed—but its involvement will go much further than the simple aid the Western nations envisage. That is because Eastern Europe suddenly presents a golden, long-term opportunity to the Japanese, whose strategic political focus has already moved from America to the unified European markets of 1992.
