Text ComprehensionAnswer the following questions according to the text.1.He insisted closer co-operation on a range of challenges from lifting the global economy tonuclear proliferation and climate change.[Para 4]2.Mr Obama made only brief reference to China's poor human rights record, which used toloom much larger in discussions and bracketed his criticism with acknowledgement of China's great "ancient culture" and the vibrant contribution of Chinese Americans to the US.[Paras11-13]3.He means that both China and the US are suffering the economic and other crisis.4.The strongest message was that Americans are leaning to save more and spend less, meaningChina cannot rely on exports to the US for its growth and will have to raise domestic consumption. [Para.16]5.The Berlin Wall symbolized a decades-long symbol of division, that is, the Iron Curtainbetween Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc as well as the cold war between western capitalist countries and the eastern socialist ones, and the tearing down of the Wall indicated that conflicts can be solved and globalization was on the way. [Para 25]6.The questions are as follows: Will growth be stalled by events like our current financial crisis,or will we cooperate to create balanced and sustainable growth, lifting more people out of poverty and creating a broader prosperity around the world? Will the need for energy breed competition and climate change, or will we build partnerships to produce clean power and to protect our planet? Will nuclear weapons spread unchecked, or will we forge a new consensus to use this power for only peaceful purposes? Will extremists be able to stir conflict and division, or will we unite on behalf of our shared security? Will nations and peoples define themselves solely by their differences, or can we find common ground necessary to meet our common challenges, and to respect the dignity of every human being?[Para 27]7.He wanted to emphasize his point that both the US and China benefit from engagement that isgrounded in mutual interest and mutual respect. [Para 29]8.The US and China’s ability to partner with each other is a prerequisite for progress on manyof the most pressing global challenges. [Para 31]9.According to President Obama, we can promote financial stability through greatertransparency and regulatory reform. We can pursue trade that is free and fair, and seek to conclude an ambitious and balanced Doha Round agreement. We can update international institutions so that growing economies like China play a greater role that matches their greater responsibility. And as Americans save more and Chinese are able to spend more, we can put growth on a more sustainable foundation -- because just as China has benefited from substantial investment and profitable exports, China can also be an enormous market for American goods. [Para 33]10.According to President Obama, the US and China can cooperate to advance their mutualbenefits in the following four respects: 1. in a lasting economic recovery; 2. in a clean, secure, and prosperous energy future; 3. in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons; 4. in confronting transnational threats. [Paras 33-38]11.The United States respects the progress that China has made by lifting hundreds of millions ofpeople out of poverty, and it also respects China's ancient and remarkable culture, its remarkable achievements, and the vibrant contribution of Chinese Americans to the US. [Para41]12.According to President Obama, China has its own distinct story that shapes its ownworldview. And Americans know the richness of China's history because it helped to shape the world and it helped to shape America. Americans know the talent of the Chinese people because they have helped to create this great country. President Obama’s own Cabinet contains two Chinese Americans. And they know that despite our differences, America is enriched through deeper ties with a country of 1.3 billion people that is at once ancient and dynamic -- ties that can be forged through increased exchanges among their people, and constructive bilateral relations between these two governments. That is how they will narrow their divisions. [Para 43]13.Mr. Obama says that he believes in a future where China is a strong, prosperous andsuccessful member of the community of nations; a future when their nations are partners out of necessity, but also out of opportunity. This future is not fixed, but it is a destination that can be reached if they pursue a sustained dialogue like the one that they will commence today, and act on what they hear and what they learn. [Para 44]14.He mentioned their words to emphasize the importance of cooperation and dialogue betweenthe US and China. [Para 22, Para 45]15.The talks are expected to be dominated by the global economic crisis and efforts to reach adeal on how to confront global warming.Obama urged China to begin boosting domestic demand and shift away from a dependence on exports. The US has been concerned that China is saving too much as the economic downturn has prompted a sharp decrease in consumer consumption around the world.Obama also said China and the US must be united in their efforts to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iran and to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.Obama also urged China to further open up its society, improve human rights, and protect minorities and the place of other religions.IV.

KEY TO EXERCISESSection A: Text ComprehensionI. Reference Answers to Pre-reading Questions:1.Jim Carter [Para 2]2.Brzezinski attracted worldwide attention by elaborating his G-2 idea with an article in theFinancial Times entitled "The Group of Two that could change the world".[Para 7]3.He thinks that Barack Obama is a conciliator at heart. [Para 16]4.For the idea of G-2 to work, the US has to adjust fundamentally foreign policy it has followedsince the end of Word War II, away from neo-imperialism toward Wilsonian/FDR liberalism, and give up its aim of peaceful evolution of Chinese society towards market capitalism. A G-2 would have to be a leading force in building a new world order of social justice and economic equity. [Para 27]5.Mao's vision of US-China relations transcends fleeting geopolitical tactics of balance ofpower, towards a long-range peaceful coexistence of two of the world's largest nations.

Text ComprehensionAnswer the following questions according to the text.1.Because there was no official counterpart observation in the US. [Para 3]2.Brzezinski thinks China could help the US find solutions to the problems like the globalfinancial crisis, the challenges of climate change, North Korea and Iran nuclear ambitions, India and Pakistan tension and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [Para 6]3.According to Brzezinski, it precipitated almost from the start security co-operation that hasbeen of genuine benefit both to the US and China. The effect was to change the Cold War's global chessboard - to the disadvantage of the Soviet Union. Indirectly, the normalization facilitated Chairman Deng Xiaoping's decision to undertake a comprehensive economic reform. China's growth would have been much harder without the expansion in US-Chinese trade and financial relations that followed normalization." [Para 8]4.It describes the relationship as one of "complex interdependence", in which both sidesevaluate each other in pragmatic and moderate terms and in which "the two sides can compete and consult within existing international rules". Yet the reality of US-China relations is one of unending US provocation and hostility on a compliant China. [Para 9]5.China should adopt a full employment objective and an income policy financed by sovereigncredit in order to develop a vibrant domestic market that would absorb the sharp shrinkage of its export sector resulting from the global financial crisis. The way for China to use sovereign credit to finance domestic economic development is to free China from dollar hegemony by demanding settlement of its export trade to be denominated in yuan. [Para 10]6.According to Brzezinski, if both sides at all times keep in mind the centrality of theirinterdependence, they will be able to cope with other contentious issues.7.They are mainly about listing Brzezinski’s ideas on forming G2. Specifically, Para 11 is aboutChina’s revisionist power and “the US-China’s common perspectives” which are helpful in forming G2; Para 12 analyses the Chinese own view or stand toward the idea of revisionist power. Para 13-16 are about his views on the fields in which the US and China can cooperate. national interests globally would be better served by a strategy of making friends withChina by sharing power globally because eventually the US will need the support of the world's most populous country to preserve and shore up its own global dominance. By contrast, conflicts with China will drain US capacity to maintain its global dominance. [Para 18]9.Brzezinski, the grand master of geopolitical chess, plots his strategy several moves ahead ofthe game. Geopolitical pluralism must first be promoted to defuse challenges to US superpower, followed by encouraging compatible key partners to cooperate under US leadership, and finally the pragmatic sharing of global geopolitical responsibility can be rewarded with a sharing of power. The twin poles of this strategy are a united Europe in the West and strong China in the East; with the problematic central regions stabilized within a new balance of power. [Para 20]10.The US, in view of the self-inflicted damage to its freewheeling market economy that can beexpected to leave the country in a protracted depression, will need a trade partner with high growth potential to absorb its overcapacity. China emerges in the 21st century as the idealcandidate for the new ally with a special relationship with the US. From the US security perspective, an alliance with China will spare the US from again involving itself directly in a war in Asia, a role the US alliance with Japan had repeatedly failed to accomplish. From the US economic perspective, US-China economic interdependence has the potential of a win-win symbiosis. Brzezinski anticipates that a G-2 would be more effective in dealing with multilateral global issues than the G-5 (France, Germany, Italy, UK, US) or G-6 (G5+Japan) or G-7 (G6+Canada) or G8 (G7+ Russia) or even the G-20 (G7+developing countries including China). [Para 21-22]11.The author uses examples and illustrations to tell us that Brzezinski's vision is not shared byall in US.12.notwithstanding Brzezinski's assertion, China is not a "revisionist" power, but anon-expansionist revolutionary state aiming at restoring its natural historical status as it was before the arrival of Western imperialism in Asia. China is not interested in bringing back a pre-World War II world order of imperialist exploitative expansion. China is not Japan, which as a defeated nation has been willing to play the role of a submissive ally with a benevolent victor.13.The author thinks that a G-2 regime would inflict on China the side-effects of rising anti-USsentiments from around the world at a time when US power is declining from self-inflicted wounds. [Para 32]By being a member of the proposed G-2, China would be necessarily saddled with the burdens of being a special ally of a superpower without the benefits or even the need of being a superpower itself. [Para 33] A G-2 will create unavoidable geopolitical problems for China in Asia, and also relating to the US global war on terrorism. It will exacerbate China's problem with Islamic separatists. [Para 34]The reason is thata.China is not likely to play Brzezinski's new Great Game.b.China is not a "revisionist" power, but a non-expansionist revolutionary state aiming atrestoring its natural historical status as it was before the arrival of Western imperialism in Asia.c.China is not interested in bringing back a pre-World War II world order of imperialistexploitative expansion.d.China is not Japan, which as a defeated nation has been willing to play the role of asubmissive ally with a benevolent victor. [Para 28]e.The foreign policy of the People's Republic since its founding in 1949 has a long legacyof nonalignment. [Para 29]f.China views itself is a natural member of developing countries, but does not see itself asthe group's leader either by design or by default. [Para 31]g.Brzezinski's G2 strategy runs counter to Deng Xiaoping's strategy of "hide capacity, bidetime"[Para 31]h.China's first priority should be to secure her position as the leading protector of Asianinterests against neo-imperialism from the G-5. A strong China needs also a strong, independent Asia free from undue manipulation by external forces.i.China should tilt towards Japan as a friendly neighbor and not fantasize about unrealisticUS friendship with a socialist China.j.Chinese policymakers will be disappointed if they are not realistic about deep-rooted US hostility toward China. China must avoid open conflict with the US, but Chinesepolicymakers must understand that the US will never be China's friend as long as the communist party is in control of China.k.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's overture of peace and cooperation to China is merely an emergency measure in response to a collapsed economy and exhaustion from undeclared foreign wars.14.China now needs to carefully consider any disingenuous invitation to join and save theprecarious US-constructed and dominated world system at a time when conditions around the world are making the prospect of a new, just world order on the horizon a welcome possibility.[Para 40]IV.

外刊经贸知识选读第2课
第 2课中国吸收外国直接投资The Curtain Goes up 竹幕卷起一、课文翻译中国政府允许外国在沿海投资― 从而差生了不同的法则并引起困惑。
1. 满怀信心的中国卷起大部分竹幕，向世界宣布“对外开放”，几乎所有的城市都张挂起邀请外商来投资作正当生意的招牌。
2. 广东省和福建省的4个经济特区、14个沿海开放城市（都是以前的通商口岸）和海南岛（总共十九个“开放”区）为外国投资者制定了税收和其他方面的鼓励政策。
每一个省会都在尽力吸引外资。
3. 所有这一切的基础是从1979年中期国务院决定在南方建立4个经济特区开始，尔后逐步形成的。
此后首次出台一项合资企业法（尽管充满漏洞），继之就是“补偿贸易”程序----两者都是为吸引外资到这4个经济特区而制定的。
第二年合资企业税法颁布实施。
4. 尽管商人们努力与拥有10亿人口的潜在市场做生意而与官僚主义作斗争，但中国领导人对于深圳----这个经济特区的典范----前进的步伐变得越来越不耐烦了。
5. 1984年4月，在中国高层领导人访问了深圳、珠海和厦门经济特区之后，国务院宣布沿整个海岸的14个城市再加上海南岛对外开放投资，从此把真正的竞争因素引入中国经济发展的计划中。
接着，备受公众注目的《关于经济结构改革的决定》出台，吸收外国技术和外资的竞争骤然开始。
6. 对于外商来说，进入拥有10亿消费者市场的前景不再是白日梦。
中国人---尤其是农村人口---正变得富有，他们希望其生活水平有明显的改善：他们渴望拥有彩电、冰箱、卡车、洗衣机和更好的收音机、自行车和衣服。
即使是地方厂商也注意到国内市场潜在的巨大销售量。
7. 最近，中国沿海城市经济技术开发集团---19个“开发区域”政策制定和协调机构领导人、国务委员谷牧宣布整个沿海对外开放投资。
从字面上理解，这并没有多大意义，因为还没“开放”的沿海地区还不能满足外商的需求。
事实上，经济特区中的汕头，14个沿海城市中的一些城市，再加上海南岛，甚至不具备履行中央政府授予的职责所需的行政支持或基础设施。

人民币升值与进出口的关系
利： 有利于商品进口。当币种升值时，由于进口 商可从汇率升值中得到额外利润，而额外利润提 供了调低进口品在国内市场上价格的可能空间， 如进口汽车及其他进口商品价格则会下降，从而 可以增加对进口商品的需求，从而增加进口数量。 弊：不利于商品出口。比如原本中国100元人民 币的商品，卖到美国去只要12美元多一点点，现 在同样的一件商品卖到美国去就要将近13美元。 显然人民币的升值对我国的出口贸易很不利。
6. What is the prospect of the Chinese market? (Read Paragraph 10.) China still has many industries, particularly in services like insurance and finance, which are only now beginning to open to world trade. And the RMB is to appreciate gradually and gives a substantial boost to import-buying power.
Lesson 1
Байду номын сангаас
1. Why was China regarded as “an important pole” for the economic growth of Asia and the world by the authoritative analysts? (Read Paragraph 2.) Her economy had continued to boom in the recent years and grew at the rate of nearly 10 percent annually. It was already by some key measures the world’s second largest economy. 2. Is China a so-called “threat” or an economic driver to other countries with her becoming “the factory to the world”? Why? (Read Paragraph 3-4.) While China’s exports grow fast all the way, very often her imports grow still faster (than the exports) as demand in China is booming. It’s a driver to the world economy, especially the East Asia.

KEY TO EXERCISESSection A: Text ComprehensionI. Reference Answers to Pre-reading Questions:1.The risks to the global financial system have moderated from the extreme levels identified inthe April 2009 Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR). However, overall financial conditions remain tight. Severe recession risks have eased in response to concerted fiscal and monetary policy stimulus measures. [Paras 1-3]2.Because on both sides of the Atlantic, it is proving difficult to effectively implement measuresthat fully address the problem of impaired assets on banks' balance sheets, leaving banks vulnerable to a further deterioration in the quality of these assets if the global downturn is deeper, and more prolonged, than projected. [Para 4]3.Corporate bond markets have reopened，and are functioning more normally, but bank creditgrowth is still slowing. [Para 5]4.Because emerging markets are recovering, and emerging market assets have benefited fromthe recovery of commodity prices and improved growth prospects, especially in Asia.Emerging market equities have rebounded 30 to 60 percent since end-February, matching or outpacing mature market equities. [Para 8]5.Because continued policy efforts are needed to stave off the chance that some of the recentgains could yet be reversed. More work is needed to fix banks and markets. [Paras 11-12]Section B: ExercisesI. Vocabulary BuildupChoose the best equivalent word or phrase from the four choices marked A, B, C and D for each underlined word or phrase in the following sentences.1. C2. B3. D4. D5. C6. B7. B8. D9. C 10. A11. C 12. C 13. B 14. B 15. BII. Translation PracticeTranslate the following paragraphs into Chinese.然而，总体金融状况依然不容乐观。
在成熟经济体中，银行对私人部门信贷的增长继续放慢，未获得政府部门支持的证券化市场依然处于失灵状态，并且，资格较低的借款人几乎无法从资本市场获得融资。
另外，为降低私人企业风险提供支持的政府部门干预已导致政府部门风险相应增加，并逐渐加重了财政负担。
[Para.2] 鉴于对金融系统稳定造成的威胁在加剧，信贷紧缩在恶化，2009年4月《全球金融稳定报告》指出了迫在眉睫的政策挑战，强调采取一系列金融政策缓解下行风险。
自此，政府实施的空前政策行为降低了金融行业发生重大倒闭的可能性，这是朝着人们对恢复金融市场信心迈出的重要一步。
[Para.10]在目前摆脱危机的关键阶段，政策制定者需维持迄今取得的进展。
鉴于危机本身和为控制危机所采取的措施的空前规模，需要相应的政策回应。
在整个过程中，时机和形式将是关键。
尽可能依赖市场机制将能确保价格平稳、金融体制健全和国家财政稳定，这与当前的目标是相一致的。
[Para.16]Ⅲ. Text ComprehensionAnswer the following questions according to the text.1.Unprecedented policy actions undertaken by central banks and governments worldwide havesucceeded in stabilizing the financial condition of banks, reducing funding pressures and counterparty risk concerns, and supporting aggregate demand. These interventions have reduced the tail risk of another systemic failure similar to the collapse of Lehman Brothers.Bank debt and interbank markets have resumed functioning, albeit with massive public sector support. Concerns regarding liquidity and counterparty risks in the banking sector have declined. [Para 1]2.Because overall financial conditions remain tight. Growth in bank credit to the private sectorcontinues to slow in mature economies, securitization markets outside those supported by the public sector remain impaired, and lower-quality borrowers have little access to capital market funding. Furthermore, the public sector interventions that have underpinned the reduction in private sector risks have resulted in a concomitant increase in public sector risks and a mounting burden on fiscal sustainability. [Para 2]3.The evidences given by the report are the narrower spreads and lower projected default rates,and the recovery of commodity prices and the resumption of portfolio inflows and rising asset prices. [Para 3]4.April 2009 GFSR highlighted three main areas of risk: (i) that weaknesses inadvanced-economy banking sectors could act as a greater drag on credit growth and economic recovery; (ii) that emerging markets remain vulnerable to a slowing or cessation of capital inflows; and (iii) that yields on sovereign debt may rise significantly and private borrowers may be crowded out if the burden on public sector balance sheets is not managed in a credible way. [Para 4].5.The better-than-expected earnings results, a successful stress-testing exercise, thecommitment by the U.S. government to stand behind the 19 largest banks, and a series of bank capital-raisings. [Para 5]6.The evidence is that overall bank credit growth continues to diminish, as deleveragingpressures persist. [Para 7]7.This reflects in part improved recovery prospects and reduced risks of deflation. [Para 9]8.Since then, the unprecedented policy actions have been taken and, as a result, have reducedthe likelihood of major failures, an important step toward restoring confidence. [Para 10]9.Concerning banks, the needed work is in some cases to implement measures already taken,and, in others, to adopt new measures. Concerning market, the needed work is to find ways to reopen the securitization market by placing it on a sounder footing. [Para 12]10.Stress tests, which, if accompanied by credible measures to address any shortfalls in capital,can be an effective tool in rebuilding bank balance sheet strength. The U.S. experience and recent European initiatives to organize coordinated stress tests are a welcome step forward.[Para 14]IV.
