51 欧洲是中国的全面战略合作伙伴，我们一直关注着欧洲经济的发展和遇到的困难。在欧洲一些国家发生主权债务危机、经济出现困难的时候，我们多次表示中国愿意伸出援助之手，继续加大对欧洲的投资。不久以前，我同欧盟委员会主席巴罗佐通电话，我再一次向他明确表示，中国至今相信欧洲经济能够克服困难，中国仍然愿意扩大对欧洲的投资。但是同样我也希望，欧盟的领导人、欧洲一些主要国家的领导人也要大胆地从战略上看待中欧关系，比如承认中国完全市场经济地位。其实，按照WTO规则，中国完全市场经济地位到2016年就为全世界所承认，早几年表示出一种诚意，是一种朋友对朋友的关系。下个月我将同欧盟领导人进行会晤，我希望这次会晤能够有所突破

52 巴罗佐在峰会上表示，中国与欧盟之间的贸易额已迅速增长至每年2550亿美元，但中国向欧洲倾销鞋类等廉价商品引起的分歧，损害了双方的关系。在欧盟做出决定之前，中国必须达到特定的技术标准，其中包括政府的影响力、会计准则、破产法以及金融服务领域的改革。

53 市场经济国家地位”最重要的意义，并非对一国总体经济体制等情况作判断，更多体现在解决贸易纠纷时的“技术适用”。是否被承认为“完全市场经济国家”，直接决定了中国出口企业在面临反倾销诉讼时的境遇。
　　根据世界贸易组织（WTO）关于倾销的定义是：一国产品以低于“正常价值”的价格出口到另一国，并对进口国相关工业造成了损害的行为。对被裁定为倾销的企业，进口国可根据成本与售价的差价，对其惩罚性地征收高利率的关税。 　　噩梦源于一些国家的反倾销法规规定，反倾销案发起国对被指定为“非市场经济国家”的企业，可以采用与该国经济毫不相干的第三国（替代国）的市场价格来计算其产品的“正常价格”，而不按这些国家产品的实际成本计算价格。

54 价格完全放开会导致炒作失控 游资炒作： 集中社会闲散资金炒作货物商品谋利。炒游资的主要目的就是利用各种关系和资源，动用最大努力获得最大利润，不局限于行业、地域、时间，只要达到谋利要求，它就将成为炒作的对象。游资不断地流出流入，其总量会在同现实积累完全无关的情况下增加起来。银行家、资本家为牟取暴利，往往利用游资从事货币投机，在这种投机活动越出国界时，就形成上述热币。

56 P11 Trickle down These simple words uttered by an old woman led by a child made the perspiration trickle down his limbs. 出自那孩子带来的老妇人口中的这句简单的话，立刻使他汗流浃背。 the trickle - down effect点滴投资理论作用 涓滴效应（Trickle-down effect，又译作渗漏效应、滴漏效应），又称涓滴理论（Trickle-down theory，又译作利益均沾论、渗漏理论、滴漏理论），指在经济发展过程中并不给与贫困阶层、或贫困地区特别的优待，而是由优先发展起来的群体或地区通过消费、就业等方面惠及贫困阶层或地区，带动其发展和富裕。

60 “休克疗法” (Jeffrey Sachs）
休克疗法的最早提出，是萨克斯被聘担任玻利维亚政府经济顾问期间所为。玻利维亚是南美一个经济落后的小国，由于长期政治局势动荡不安，政府经济政策不断失误，由此引发的经济问题大量积累而又得不到解决，终于导致了一场严重的经济危机。1985年玻利维亚政府的预算赤字达485.9万亿比索，占国内生产总值的约1/3，通货膨胀率高达24000％。1984年的外债为50亿美元，应付利息近10亿美元，超过了出口收入。1980－1985年期间居民生活水平下降了30％，国民经济几乎到了崩溃的边缘。 　　正是面对这样一种险恶的经济形势，受聘于危难之际的萨克斯，大胆地提出了一整套经济纲领和经济政策，其主要内容是:实行紧缩的金融和财政政策，压缩政府开支，取消补贴，放开价格，实行贸易自由化，通过货币贬值实现汇率稳定，进一步改革行政和税收制度，将部分公营 部门和企业民营化，重新安排债务和接受外援等等。由于这套经济纲领和政策的实施，具有较强的冲击力，在短期内可能使社会的经济生活产生巨大的震荡，甚至导 致出现“休克”状态，因此，人们借用医学上的名词，把萨克斯提出的这套稳定经济、治理通货膨胀的经济纲领和政策称为“休克疗法”。 　　概括地说，休克疗法是针对严重失衡的社会总供求状况，从控制社会总需求出发，采取严厉的行政和经济手段，在短时间内强制性地大幅度压缩消费需求和投资需求，使 社会总供求达到人为的平衡，以此遏制恶性通货膨胀，恢复经济秩序。这种政策调控带有明显的应急性质。因为社会总供求的平衡，不仅需要控制过旺的社会总需 求，而且更重要的是要刺激低迷的社会总供给的有效增长。宏观经济运行的实践证明，前者在短时间内容易实现，后者却需较长时间花大气力方能见效。由于休克疗 法的调控重点放在社会总需求上，加之实施措施的力度较大，所以极易收到立竿见影的效果。这就是休克疗法在玻利维亚产生奇效的奥秘之所在，也是休克疗法原始涵义之精髓

67 GOME 1987年元月一日，国美电器在北京创立了第一家以经营各类家用电器为主仅不足一百平米的小店。
　　目前，国美电器已成为中国驰名商标，并已经发展成为中国最大的以家电及消费电子产品零售为主的全国性连锁企业。同时国美位居全球商业连锁22位。在北京、天津、上海、青岛、成都、重庆、西安、广州、深圳等国内160多个城市以及香港、澳门地区拥有直营店560余家，10多万名员工，成为国内外众多知名家电厂家在中国最大的经销商。在国家商务部公布的2004年中国连锁经营前30强中，国美电器以238.8亿元位列第二，并再次蝉联家电连锁第一名；在国家商务部公布的2005年中国连锁经营前30强中，国美电器以498.4亿元位列第二，并再次蝉联家电连锁第一名，继续领跑中国家电零售业。2004年底，国美电器基本完成在中国大陆地区的一级市场的网络建设，同时扩展到较为富裕的二、三级市场，并制定了2008年实现销售额1200亿元的目标。 　　2003年11月国美电器在香港设立分部，目前已成功发展到七家分店，迈出了开拓海外市场探索性的第一步，同时预示国美电器最终将进入国际市场。2004年6月国美电器在香港成功上市。在“2004百富人气榜暨品牌影响力”评选中，国美电器位居品牌影响力企业第二名。

68 “国美三招” 第一招是“动摇军心”。国美在新店开张前1～4个月内在当地媒体多次大幅刊登招聘启事和广告，招聘启事允以高薪厚禄动荡当地家电渠道人员军心，广告则承诺消费者“天天低价” 第二招是“开业震慑”。国美在开业前均要精心策划推出“特价机”：如市面上29寸平面彩电还是3000元上下时，国美能推出699元的特价机，极端的时候甚至推出过一元的“特价机”，造成开业人山人海，场面火爆。一旦成为当地新闻后，国美再组织媒体通篇报道，围绕这种势头层层击破消费者心理防线，“震慑” 对手。 第三招则是“高举高打”，以领导者的姿态制造“事件营销”，控制供应商。比如2000年7、8月份国美成功阻击彩电价格联盟，2001年4月举办“国美空调流行趋势发布会”，2002年7月举办“中国手机高峰论坛”，最近又在宣称“优惠券”是商家欺骗消费者的手段，国美将直接降价而不是用“优惠券”让利于消费者。所有这些目的都在强调一点：国美代表着主流，要想做一个家电制造商，就必须与国美合作，从而使价格战首先在制造商之间展开。

81 Answer the questions on the text:
How does the author view the Chinese economy? It is the most important bright spot in the world economy under the global recession, the only major economy that is likely to show significant growth this year, and the only one that routinely breaks every rule in the economic textbook.

82 According to the author, why can the Chinese economy perform so well?
(1) the capacity for state control by the Chinese government. (2) its rejection of exotic financial innovations that are the melting core of the global credit crisis. (3) the integration of its economic policies between traditional market tools and state control measures.

83 In what way does the author imply that western economists are erroneous in their bias toward “China’s market economic system”? The United States and Europe are moving toward state control by nationalizing their banking and car industries, and imposing heavy new regulation on the financial industry.

84 What is the view of Stephen Roach on the Chinese economy system?
Investment is the backbone of sustainable growth in the Chinese economy, which works more effectively than other market based systems in times of economic stress. Why can China work in the eye of the author? It has followed a radical pragmatism focusing on a slow but steady shift toward freer markets.

85 What is regarded as the strategic thinking of the Chinese leaders in market reforms?
They understand even under the serious financial crisis that it can stabilize the Chinese market and economy to introduce more sophisticated forms of securitization, including stock index funds, corporate bonds and other debt products. They also realize that, in the course of doing this, they should learn from the mistakes the westerners have made.

86 What is the example given to illustrate the steadiness of the Chinese leaders in their policy execution? They continue to allow the value of yuan to rise despite of the American charges and the need for export competitiveness by their own enterprises. 8) What is “shock therapy”? It is the economic policy adopted in Russia from 1991 to 1992 that totally deregulated prices and lead to a runaway inflation. It proved to be all shock and no therapy.

87 In what ways does the Chinese economic system work efficiently?

88 我们所面临的来自中国的真正挑战并不是他们向我们大量销售的货物，而恰恰相反，是他们正在提升的价值链。这在将来可能会对美国经济构成最严重的新挑战。
在过去三十年的大部分时间里，中国集中精力建设基础设施，这主要靠廉价的劳动力和勤劳肯干的工人就行了。但同时工厂现代化了，交通成世界一流了，港口大型化和机场高效化了，所有这些都是以人类历史上从未有过的速度和规模完成的。 现在中国又计划跨入一个新的时代：提升产品和服务的质量。也就是说，政府官员已确定的下一步经济发展需要政府像建设高速公路网一样的决心大力投资发展人力资本。自1998年来，中国政府已启动了大规模的教育发展计划，投入的资金按GDP比例计算增加了约两倍，在而后的十年，中国的大学增加了一倍，大学生增加了四倍，从1997年的100万增长到2007年的550万。中国列出了顶级的9所大学为中国版的常青藤大学联盟。欧洲各大学以及美国的州立大学因受大规模经费削减影响而处于崩溃状态，而中国的大学则相反正处于大发展之中。耶鲁大学校长理查德·雷文在今年年初的一次演讲中指出：“这次中国大学的扩展是前所未有的，在仅十年的时间里就建起了世界上规模最大的高等教育。实际上，2000年以来中国大学扩招的大学生人数超过了美国大学招生的总数。”

89 那么这一史无前例的教育投资对中国和美国意味着什么呢？诺贝尔经济学奖得主罗伯特·福格尔预见到了训练有素的员工可能对经济产生的影响。在美国，高中毕业工人的生产率是只受过9年教育的人的1.8倍，而大学毕业的则要高出两倍。中国正在大规模地扩大高中和大学生的人数。尽管目前中国在服务业上仍远远落后他国，但中国企业将会很快进入这一巨大市场。福格尔相信高技能工人的增加将在今后大大刺激中国的经济增长率，使其GDP在2040年之前达到惊人的123万亿美元。 不管这一难以想象的数字是否准确，但有一点是很清楚的，中国正开始提升其价值链，进入一直来只有西方国家独占的产业和工种，这才是来自中国的真正挑战。应对这一挑战的最佳和最有效的方法不是威胁和关税，而是深层次的结构改革和大规模的投资，使美国经济重新获得活力，使美国工人再具竞争力。
