根据下面内容，回答题 In recent decades, there is a phenomenon which makes us give some attention, the so-calledSoutheast Asian "tigers" have rivaled the western "lions" for stock cliches that make economicheadlines. The myth of American economic hegemony over Asia in the imposing and patriarchalfigure of Uncle Sam has provided frequent political grist (有利 ) for Southeast Asian politicalleaders, particularly Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir. He has attempted to forge aninternational reputation as a snarling tiger, but lately sounds more like a barnyard dog groaning atshadows. Without demeaning in any way the remarkable achievements of the newly developingeconomics of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, these nations at times appear to be their own worstenemies. This is often exemplified by Dr. Mahathir, who rails at Western evil whenever aninternational or domestic crisis provides an opportunity.
To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies, and thesubsequent pressure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir to launch an all-outattack on the West as the source of the problem. He even alleges that the United States hasdeliberately destabilized Southeast Asian economics in revenge for these nations, supporting thebrutal military rule in Mahathir, an action which the United States seems to want inspected ratherthan rewarded. But by resorting to such scapegoat (替罪羊 ), instead of accepting even a bitresponsibility, the Prime Minister may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia inparticular.
Upon further questioning, Dr. Mahathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual, thewell-known philanthropist (慈善家), Mr. George Soros, whose opposition to Myanmar's admissionto ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Mahathir found particularity, irritating. Thelogical mistakes that underlie such conspiracy theories do not help Malaysia address the seriousissues 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 inMalaysia's stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to reverse his initial approach to thecrisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quite aware of excesses in his ownadministration' s spending policies that have contributed to this crisis of confidence. In the end, thiskind of reaction undermines the esteem that Dr. Mahathir's enlightened leadership has justlyearned.
It is implied in the first paragraph that Dr. Mahathir ( ). A．tries to manipulate anti-Western actions for political gains
B．detests the USA's controlling over the regional economics
C．has correctly identified the financial problem in Asia
D．believes in the effect of the ghostly influence from the west
