For the first time ever, global business executives ranked the United States outside the Top 10 in international surveys of competitiveness. The US was firmly in the top spot for decades, and was never out of the top three. According to this year's survey, executives pushed the United States to #12, while Asian economies Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the UAE snagged four of the top eight spots.

This survey of international business leaders mirrors what everyday Americans tell pollsters at home: the United States is on the wrong track, and American citizens' confidence in national institutions are at all-time lows.

But our policymakers rely on other surveys, such as from the World Economic Forum and the UN, which continue to show the US as the most competitive. Why is there such an apparent disconnect, between what business executives say about doing business in and with America, and what transnational organizations claim?

在國際競爭力調查中，全球企業主管首次將美國排在前十名之外。 美國幾十年來一直穩居第一，從未跌出前三名。 根據今年的調查，高層將美國推至第 12 位，而亞洲經濟體新加坡、香港、台灣和阿聯酋佔據了前八名中的四個席位。

這項針對國際商界領袖的調查反映了美國人日常對國內民調人員的看法：美國正走在錯誤的道路上，美國公民對國家機構的信心處於歷史最低點。

但我們的政策制定者依賴其他調查，例如世界經濟論壇和聯合國的調查，這些調查繼續顯示美國最具競爭力。 為什麼企業主管對於在美國做生意以及與美國做生意的說法與跨國組織的說法之間存在如此明顯的脫節?
