老师们，同学们：LadiesandGentlemen,我之所以强调用发展的眼光看中国，就是因为世界在变，中国也在变。如今的中国，早已不是一百年前封闭落后的旧中国，也不是３０年前贫穷僵化的中国。经过改革开放，中国的面貌已焕然一新。北京奥运会向世界展示的，就是这样一个古老、多彩和现代的中国。我希望朋友们，多到中国走一走、看一看，了解今天的中国人究竟在想什么、做什么、关心什么。这样，有助于你们认识一个真实的、不断发展变化着的中国，也有助于你们了解中国是如何应对当前这场全球性金融危机的。IstresstheimportanceofseeingChinainthelightofherdevelopment,becausetheworldischangingandChinaischanging.Chinaisnolongertheclosedandbackwardsocietyitwas100yearsago,orthepoorandossifiedsociety30yearsago.Thankstoreformandopening-up,Chinahastakenonanewlook.WhattheBeijingOlympicGamesshowcasedisacolorfulChina,bothancientandmodern.IthereforeencourageyoutovisitChinamoreoftenandseemoreplacesthere.Thisway,youwillbetterunderstandwhattheChinesepeoplearethinkinganddoing,andwhattheyareinterestedin.YouwillgettoknowthetrueChina,acountryconstantlydevelopingandchanging.YouwillalsobetterappreciatehowChinahasbeentacklingtheongoingglobalfinancialcrisis.在这场前所未有的世界金融危机中，中国和包括英国在内的欧洲都受到严重冲击。现在危机尚未见底，由此可能带来的各种严重后果还难以预料。合作应对、共渡难关，是我们的首要任务。ThisunprecedentedfinancialcrisishasinflictedasevereimpactonbothChinaandBritainaswellasotherEuropeancountries.Thecrisishasnotyethitthebottom,anditishardtopredictwhatfurtherdamageitmaycause.Toworktogetherandtideoverthedifficultieshasbecomeourtoppriority.我认为，应对全球性危机，需要增进合作。有多大程度的相互信任，就可能有多大程度的合作。中国政府主张：第一，要首先办好各国自己的事情，不把麻烦推给别人；第二，要精诚合作，不搞以邻为壑；第三，要标本兼治，不能头疼医头、脚疼医脚。我在达沃斯会议上已重申，应该对国际货币金融体系进行必要的改革，建立公平、公正、包容、有序的国际金融新秩序，努力营造有利于全球经济发展的制度环境。Ibelievethatclosercooperationisneededtomeettheglobalcrisis,andthelevelofcooperationhingesuponthelevelofmutualtrust.TheChineseGovernmentmaintainsthatcountriesshould:firstandforemost,runtheirownaffairswellandrefrainfromshiftingtroublesontoothers;second,carryoutcooperationwithfullsincerityandavoidpursuingone'sowninterestsattheexpenseofothers;andthird,addressboththesymptomsandtherootcauseoftheproblem.Apalliativeapproachwillnotwork.Weshouldnottreatonlytheheadwhentheheadaches,andthefootwhenthefoothurts.AsIreiteratedattheWorldEconomicForumAnnualMeetinginDavos,necessaryreformoftheinternationalmonetaryandfinancialsystemsshouldbecarriedouttoestablishanewinternationalfinancialorderthatisfair,equitable,inclusiveandwell-managed.Weshouldcreateaninstitutionalenvironmentconducivetoglobaleconomicgrowth.这里我想谈一谈中国是如何应对这场金融危机的。LetmetalkbrieflyabouthowChinahasbeenrespondingtothecrisis.金融危机对中国实体经济的影响日益显现。从去年第三季度以来，出口大幅下滑，经济增速放缓，就业压力加大。中国经济面临着严峻的局面。面对危机，我们果断决策，及时调整宏观经济政策取向，迅速出台扩大国内需求的十项措施，陆续制定了一系列政策，形成了系统完整的促进经济平稳较快发展的一揽子计划。主要包括以下几个方面：ThefalloutofthefinancialcrisisonChina'srealeconomyisbecomingmoreevident.Sincethethirdquarteroflastyear,ourexportshavedeclinedsharply,economicgrowthhassloweddown,andthepressureonemploymenthasbeenrising.Inthefaceofthegrimsituation,wehaveacteddecisively.Wehavemadetimelyadjustmenttothedirectionofourmacroeconomicpolicy,promptlyintroducedtenmeasurestoexpanddomesticdemand,andformulatedaseriesofrelatedpolicies.Together,theymakeupasystematicandcomprehensivepackageplanaimedatpromotingsteadyandrelativelyfasteconomicgrowth.Itsmaincontentsare:一是大规模增加政府支出扩大内需。中国政府推出了以财政支出带动社会投资，总额达４万亿元的两年计划，规模相当于２００７年中国ＧＤＰ的１６％。主要投向保障性安居工程、农村民生工程、铁路交通等基础设施、社会事业、生态环保建设和地震灾后恢复重建。中国政府还推出了大规模的减税计划，一年可减轻企业和居民负担约５０００亿元。我们还大幅度降息和增加银行体系流动性，出台了一系列金融措施。First,substantiallyincreasegovernmentspendingtoboostdomesticdemand.TheChineseGovernmenthasannouncedatwo-yearinvestmentprogramthatwillgenerate,throughfiscalspending,atotalinvestmentofRMB4trillionnationwide,equivalentto16%ofChina'sGDPin2007.Themoneywillmainlygointogovernment-subsidizedhousing,projectsrelatedtothewell-beingofruralresidents,theconstructionofrailwayandotherinfrastructuralprojects,socialdevelopmentprograms,environmentalprotectionandpost-earthquakerecoveryandreconstruction.TheChineseGovernmenthasintroducedamassivetax-cutprogram,whichwillreducethetaxburdensonbusinessesandindividualsbyaboutRMB500billioneachyear.Wehavealsocutinterestratesbyalargemargin,increasedliquidityinthebankingsystemandadoptedarangeoffinancialmeasures.二是大范围实施产业调整振兴计划。我们全面推进产业结构调整和优化升级，制定汽车、钢铁等十个重点产业的调整和振兴规划。我们采取经济和技术的措施，大力推进节能减排，推进企业兼并重组，提高产业集中度和资源配置效率。我们鼓励和支持企业广泛应用新技术、新工艺、新设备、新材料，开发适销对路产品。Second,implementalarge-scaleindustrialrestructuringandrejuvenationprogram.Wearepushingforwardindustrialrestructuringandupgradingacrosstheboardandformulatingplansfortherestructuringandrevitalizationoftenkeyindustries,includingautomobilesandironandsteel.Wewilltakeeconomicandtechnologicalmeasurestoboostenergyconservationandreduceemissions,andpromotemergerandreorganizationofenterprisestoraisethelevelofindustryconcentrationandtheefficiencyofresourceallocation.Weencourageandsupporttheextensiveapplicationofnewtechnologies,techniques,equipmentandmaterialsandthedevelopmentofmarketableproductsbyenterprises.三是大力推进科技进步和创新。科技是克服金融危机的根本力量。每一场大的危机常常伴随一场新的科技革命；每一次经济的复苏，都离不开技术创新。我们加快实施国家中长期科学和技术发展规划，特别是核心电子器件、核能开发利用、高档数控机床等１６个重大专项，突破一批核心技术和关键共性技术，为中国经济在更高水平上实现可持续发展提供科技支撑。推动发展高新技术产业群，培育新的经济增长点。我们就是要依靠科学技术的重大突破，创造新的社会需求，催生新一轮的经济繁荣。Third,makeenergeticeffortsforprogressandinnovationinscienceandtechnology.Scienceandtechnologyareoffundamentalimportanceinovercomingthefinancialcri
