18、ic state policy of opening-up. Over the past decade since its accession to the WTO, China has fullyhonored its commitmentsby abolishing all domestic laws and regulationsincompatible withWTO rules and giving foreign companies national treatment. All foreign companies registered in China are Chinese e

19、nterprises. Their innovation, production and business operations in China enjoy the same treatment as Chinese enterprises. The package plan and the related policy measures that the Chinese government introduced to counter the international financial crisis have also provided good opportunities for t

20、he growth of all enterprises in China, foreign companies included.，利用外資是中國對外開放基本國策的重要內容。加入世貿組織近年來，中國全面履行承諾，清理和取消了與世貿組織規則不一致的法律規定，對外商投資企業實行國民待遇。所有在中國注冊的外商投資企業都是中國企業，它們在中國境內開展創新、生產、經營活動享受與中資企業一視同仁的待遇。在應對國際金融危機沖擊過程中，中國採取的一攬子計劃和各項政策措施也為包括外商投資企業在內的各類企業發展提供了有利商機China will stay firmly committed to the basi

What lessons do you think can be drawn from the 2008 international financial crisis? What effective measures did Ch

24、ina adopt to counter the impact of the crisis?在回答關於如何認識國際金融危機教訓的提問時，A: This international financial crisis has reflected the absence of regulation in financial innovation. Its root cause lies in the serious defects of the existing financial system. They are mainly as follows: First, the internationa

25、l financial system has not kept up with the latest development of economic and financial globalization and was incapable of tackling the risks and challenges brought about by massive financial activities. Second, international financial institutions failed to fully reflect the changing status of dev

26、eloping countries in the world economy and finance. The global representativeness and enforcement capabilities of these institutions need to be further strengthened. Third, the international financial system was in serious shortage of resources and means to tackle the international financial crisis

27、and its rescue capabilities need to be built up.胡錦濤表示，這場國際金融危機直接反映了在金融市場創新中監管的缺失，而究其根源則是現行國際金融體系存在一些嚴重弊端，主要有：一是國際金融體系與經濟金融全球化發展不適應，難以應對大規模金融活動中存在的風險和挑戰二是國際金融機構未能充分反映發展中國家在世界經濟金融格局中的地位變化，代表性和執行力需要進一步增強三是國際金融體系應對國際金融危機的資源和手段嚴重不足，救援能力亟待提高。However, thanks to the concerted efforts of the international co

28、mmunity and G-20 members, progress has been made in the reform of the international financial system over the past two years since the outbreak of the financial crisis. China hopes that the international community will work together to further advance the reform of the international financial system

29、 and move toward the establishment of a fair, just, inclusive and well-managed international financial order. To achieve the long-term and sound growth of the world economy, we must not only address specific issues such as managing properly the relationship between the financial sector and the real

30、economy, between financial innovation and financial supervision and regulation, and between consumption and saving, but also, and more importantly, review those fundamental problems in the world economy on a macro level. The most prominent problem in the worlds economic imbalance today is the seriou

31、s development imbalance between the North and the South. The international community should make concerted efforts to build a new and more equal and balanced global partnership for development and encourage developed and developing countries to have more mutual understanding and closer coordination,

32、 so as to promote the strong, sustainable and balanced development of the world economy.The international financial crisis has inflicted on China unprecedented difficulties and challenges. To address its impact and maintain the steady and relatively fast growth of the economy, China quickly adjusted its macroeconomic policies, resolutely adopted the proactive fiscal policy and moderately easy monetary policy, put in place a package plan to boost domestic demand and stimulate economic growth, significantly increased government investment, implemented industrial readjustment
