1.3 美国副总统复旦演讲
韩市长，非常感谢您！谢谢您做介绍时的友好言辞。今天我们很高兴来到这里。我和我夫人为有这次机会再次来到中国访问感到荣幸。感谢贵国对我们的欢迎，特别感谢复旦大学的热情接待。我们为此感到不胜荣幸，谢谢你们！我们此行带来了布什总统和美国人民的良好祝愿。
我知道在座的许多人很快就要从这所优秀的大学毕业。我听说贵校有极为严格的标准，得到复旦大学的学位代表着多年的刻苦攻读和自我约束。我祝贺在座各位学业有成。对各位老师坚持复旦大学99年追求卓越的传统我深表钦佩。
1.4 Speech by Wang Guangya at Princeton University
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good evening.
I am honored to be invited to your seminar tonight. For me, for my colleagues and for many other Chinese, Princeton has long been a familiar name. With a history longer than the country, it has produced many outstanding people, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th US president, Albert Einstein, the great scientist, and T. S. Eliot, the famous poet, to name but a few. As former president Bill Clinton said in 1996 at the celebrations for the 250 anniversary of Princeton, “At every pivotal moment in American history, Princeton, its leadership, faculty and its students have played a crucial role.”
I am more pleased to learn that all of you have a keen interest in China. Though our two countries are geographically far apart, we have a great deal in common in the everyday life. While many Chinese enjoy Hollywood movies and McDonald’s fast food, many Americans find that their clothes and daily necessities are made in China. I hope that today’s seminar will help you gain a
better understanding of China and its foreign policy, thus deepening further our friendship and cooperation.
2.4 CNN interview with Jet Li
祝贺《英雄》取得了成功。请问您在《英雄》中扮演的角色是否与你通常演的角色很相似呢？
It’s a very special part and a very special movie. I think it’s one of the most important action films in my life.
为什么你会这样说呢？你演过近30部电影，而《英雄》与其他影片有何不同呢？
Usually action films have a formula: A child whose parents have been murdered by bad guys tries hard to learn martial arts and he grows up into an outstanding Kongfu master. He takes revenge and kills the bad buys. But “Hero” has a much broader them.
就比如象《卧虎藏龙》？
No, it’s totally different. I think Ang Lee is a very very talented director. He uses martial arts to talk about love, you know. But Zhang Yimou tries to tell about Chinese culture, Chinese thinking and their inspirations about the world.
含义的确很深。 我们知道你的处女作是1979年拍摄的《少林寺》，那时你还是个十几岁的少年。影片在亚洲引起了轰动，并且还加拍了两部续集。我想问的是，你使如何从一位武术冠军成为一名好莱坞的动作明星的？
I think the most important thing is that when I was young, I learnt martial arts. That is my special key. I can use my unique martial arts skills in the film. I have been thinking about doing
something different, like using martial arts to talk about peace and to achieve peace.
这听起来似乎是矛盾的，对吗？你是一位打斗者，却要谈“和平”？
That’s right, because Chinese culture is not just martial arts. That’s only the physical part. It’s not true that the Chinese people are all Kongfu masters and can just beat up people; and that they have no brains, no thoughts. As a matter of fact, we have a deep, strong and sophisticated philosophy. I feel I have the responsibility to share this information with the worldwide audience.
4.3 西敏斯特大学介绍
非常感谢你们的盛情款待，我们很高兴来到这里与你们相聚。很遗憾校长先生今天无法前来，我谨代表他介绍一下我们的学校。
西敏斯特大学成立于1838年，是英国第一所工科大学，所以我们学校有着悠久的历史。我们的主校区位于英国首都伦敦市的中心地带。目前我们的学生来自132个不同国家，人数超过22，700。西敏斯特大学是全英最受国际学生欢迎的15所大学之一。
我们有教师700多人，还有来自各国的客座讲师1，000余人。学校的这种国际环境为学生日后将要面临的职业生涯做好了良好的准备，我们的宗旨是提供国内国际环境下高品质的教育和科研。
我们是一所现代大学，在诸多研究领域占据领先地位，其中包括传播、文化与媒体研究、法律、亚洲研究、语言学、艺术设计（含音乐）、电子工程、政治与国际关系等，我们的主要学科均获得高度的专业认可。
我们真诚地希望与贵校建立交流合作项目。
4.5 中英教育交流
Q：My question is about educational exchanges. You mentioned in your speech that there are large numbers of Chinese students studying in Britain. As we know, it is extremely difficult to get a scholarship at a British university. But the tuition fees for international students far exceed these for home students. So we can not help wondering about the motivation of British universities in enrolling Chinese students. Is it to promote educational exchanges with China and to liven up campus life in Britain, or just for a commercial purpose? Thank you.
A: 这实际上是出于多种考虑。我不否认有商业考虑，办大学也要花钱，不过教育交流是主要目的。奖学金难申请是因为钱要由政府出，有时候纳税人有意见，说政府应该把奖学金给本国学生而不是外国学生，所以很困难。
但是我们现在已经在扩大奖学金范围。事实上，过去几年，中国学生来英国留学人数大大增加了，这说明奖学金难归难，你们还是有办法来留学的。
我想教育交流在未来会非常重要，我也希望，每一次外国学生来英国学习，回去时就像是一个英国的大使，到他的国家为我们宣传，不管是在中国、俄罗斯还是哪个国家。所以我们在扩大教育规模，吸收更多海外留学生。所以你们继续申请奖学金，我们会尽力帮助的。
Q： Mr. Blair, welcome to Tsinghua University. I was deeply impressed by your support for Sino-British educational exchanges, but I was also sorry to learn that some universities in northeastern Britain have decided to cancel the major of Chinese Culture and Language, among them the University of Durham. Will this affect cultural and educational cooperation between our two countries? If so, what is your solution?
A: 讲到学校的课程，既然我听说了这件事，我打算回去看看究竟，不过大学做出这样的决定原因很多，也许是经济原因，或者是他们面临某种困难，这也是时有的事情。要把想做的事情办成，钱总是不够的。不过我也可以向你保证，我们会一如既往地欢迎中国学生来英国学习，就算杜伦大学没有合适的专业，其他大学也肯定有。
5.2tour the white house
两百多年来，白宫作为美国总统、美国政府以及美国人民的标志一直屹立在那里。和这个国家的首都的历史一样，白宫的历史开始于1790年。华盛顿总统和城市设计师皮埃尔·雷芬一起选择该址作为新的居住地，即现在的宾夕法尼亚大街1600号。
当1792年第一块奠基石造好的时候，白宫的建设就开始了。尽管华盛顿总统监督了白宫的建设，但是他从未入主白宫。直到1800年，也就是白宫临近竣工的时候，第一位入主白宫的是总统约翰·亚当斯和他的妻子阿比盖尔。从那以后，每位入主白宫的总体都会改变原有的装潢或摆设，使得白宫以新面貌出现。
白宫有着极其独特和引人注目的历史。1814年，英军曾将其付之一炬。1929年，白宫的西翼也曾被纵火。白宫经历了这些劫难后存留了下来。其外围石墙就是在白宫在两百多年前建成时建造的。
在星期二至星期六这段时间的上午，白宫是全面开放的。而至于星期天和星期一，则不对外开放。所有在白宫内的旅游观光都是免费的。
在游客进入白宫时，通过安全检查后方可携带照相机入内。但是，在白宫内禁止拍照和录像。
5．3 温家宝总理在世界旅游组织第15届全体大会上的致词
Mr. Francesco Frangialli, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization,
Ms. Louise Frechette, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations,
All Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
At this October time when Beijing is offering us its charming autumn scenery in the freshest air and clearest weather, the 15th General Assembly Session of the World Tourism Organization is
officially opened here. On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to extend our sincere welcome to all the guests here and to express our warm congratulations on the convening of this session.
Tourism is a nice and pleasant activity that combines sightseeing, recreation and health care. Tourism has been developing with the times. Since the mid of the 20th century, modern tourism has been booming at a fast pace across the world. The number of tourists has been increasing, the scale of tourism industry has kept expanding, and the position of tourism in the economy has been rising. Increasingly, tourism serves as a channel for cultural exchanges, friendship development and varied communication. It exerts more and more extensive influence on human life and social progress.
As a country with an ancient civilization and a long history, China is also a big oriental country full of modern vitality, blessed with a rich supply of unique and varied tourism attractions and resources. Besides the picturesque natural scenery, profound history and extensive culture, China embodies the different folk customs of 56 nationalities/ethnic groups. Currently, 29 properties have been inscribed onto World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. With the reform and opening-up programs, China’s modern construction is surging ahead, and urban and rural areas are all experiencing daily changes. The ancient glory and modern boom combine most impressively to create favorable conditions for domestic and international tourism in China.
The fist 20 years of the 21st century is a strategic period for China to accomplish the all-round construction of a well-off society and to speed up its socialist modernization. It also provides a favorable time for its further development of tourism industry. We shall promote tourism as an important industry in China’s national economy, properly protect and utilize our tourism resources and try to achieve sustainable development. The Chinese government welcomes all international friends to visit China. We shall do our best to protect their health and safety. Meanwhile, we will encourage more Chinese people to go abroad for visits. We are ready to
develop extensive cooperation with other countries and contribute to global tourism growth.
For many years, the World Tourism Organization has made active and effective efforts to gain tourism prosperity and development around the world. It has become a specialized agency of the UN. Here we would like to offer our sincere congratulations. We believe this WTO General Assembly session will give a major push to tourism in the world for greater prosperity and new development.
Finally, I wish the 15th General Assembly Session of the World’s Tourism Organization every success.
Thank you!
5.5 现代化与文化遗产的保护
主：Welcome to our studio. My first question is: how many years have you been in China?
宾：三年多了。我是2002年5月底来的。
主：3 years. I bet you have witnessed a lot of changes in China. Could you tell us your deepest impression of urban development in China?
宾：我恐怕只能就我所在的城市谈谈经验，不过从周边城市的所见所闻，我也会有同样的看法。所有的外国人都非常清楚地看到，中国和中国的许多城市都在快速地发展。我想在东部沿海城市更是如此。到处矗立着崭新的高楼大厦，马路变得更加宽敞。
主：What do you think of all these tall buildings and the widened roads? Do you think that these are signs of modernization? Are all these changes good?
宾：这个问题提得好，但是我觉得这是个相当复杂的问题。
主：Why is it complicated?
宾：这个问题得从两个不同角度来谈。一方面是我作为一个外国人所期待的…… 我想看的，我感兴趣的和中国人想看的或者想让我看的肯定是不一样的。另一方面就是现代化与旧城文化保护相互冲突的问题。
主：Then let’s see what are the differences between a foreigner’s expectations and what the Chinese would like to see.
宾：这个问题看来最好这么来谈，一般情况下，中国朋友带我们参观城市的时候，都是带我们去看现代建筑，比如机场、大桥、会展中心等等城市里最新的东西。但是外国人对老城区、小街小巷、古旧建筑更感兴趣，也就是那些使这个城市有别于我们所看过的其他城市的东西。一个外国人到过的其他地方可能比一般中国人多，所见过的机场和桥梁对他们来说没什么太大的不同，但是西安的庙宇他们就觉得有别于法国的教堂，更重要的是，中国城市的老房子更有别于英国城市里的老房子。
主：That is to say, foreigners are interested in the things unique in China, but there is a contradiction between modernization and preservation, as you mentioned just now from another perspective. The space of a city is limited; the old part of the city should be reconstructed, and in fact the new buildings are symbols of the prosperity of a city. Isn’t this a good thing?
宾：当然，繁荣与发展对你们来说是很重要的，对我们也是很重要（你们认为发展很重要，我也这么看）。问题是当一个国家发展的时候，人民的生活水平也随之提高，甚至可能提高很快。他们需要让别人看到这种变化的事实。你们似乎忽略了，对以前的事物需要加以保护，不止是保护那些庙宇或者宫殿，而且应该保护人们居住的房屋，保护老城区的原貌。文化遗产一旦遭到破坏，你们是无法挽回这种损失的。
主：You are quite right. People nowadays are starting to realize the importance of the preservation of heritage. Some local governments are making great effort to deal with the
contradiction between development and preservation. Well, because of the limitation of the time, I’m afraid we have to stop now. Thank you ever so much for your coming to discuss this topic with us. We hope you’ll come again.
7.3极限运动
过去，爱好体育的年轻人玩的是曲棍球或棒球，如今他们追求的是冒险和刺激——越接近极限越好。他们踩着踏板从悬崖上方滑过，骑着山地车沿着陡峭的山峰而下，迎着飓风冲浪，在激流中漂流，从塔台往下蹦极。
极限运动最初是作为昂贵运动项目的替代品。城市里的孩子如果买不起贵的运动器材，买个滑板也能玩得兴趣盎然。但现在极限运动已经成为体育运动中的一个全新的领域，需要有特制的装备和高超的技巧。甚至还有专为极限运动而设立的成为冬季极限运动会的特奥会，比赛项目包括雪山赛车和攀冰运动等。每年夏天在美国的罗德岛都会举行极限运动竞技比赛，比赛项目包括冲浪式特技跳伞，即在打开降落伞前踩着小冲浪板乘风翱翔的一种特技跳伞。
是什么原因使得极限运动如此受欢迎呢？我想主要是因为人们喜爱惊险刺激。特别是城市居民渴望在周末走到户外从事一些具有挑战性的运动。借助现代先进的装备，人们能参与更惊险的运动而无损毫发。危险正是极限运动的部分魅力所在。一旦你尝试过山地骑车或是雪地滑板，会觉得普通的自行车或滑雪运动很乏味，难以退而去享受它们的乐趣。
当然，极限运动并不适合所有人。大多数人还是更喜欢玩篮球，棒球或者是观看电视上的体育节目。不过极限运动确实是越来越受欢迎了。这种新颖刺激的运动很可能在将来成为风潮。
7.4 罗格在雅典奥运会上的致辞
希腊共和国总统先生，亲爱的希腊朋友，今晚，全世界向希腊致意三重敬意。
人类感谢你，因为你于2，800年前，在奥林匹亚创立了奥林匹克运动会。
世界崇敬你，因你在现代奥林匹克运动的奠基人皮埃尔.德.顾拜的号召下，于1896年就在雅典重新恢复了这项盛事。
最重要的是，今晚全世界为你欢呼致意，感谢你举办这一届奥运会，让奥林匹克运动会回到了它的诞生之地。
感谢所有支持奥林匹克运动会的人，特别要感谢伟大的自愿者们，没有他们的付出，就没有今天的盛会。
所有参赛的运动员，我想对你们说的是，这是你们理应享受的一刻，是你们的所有辛劳和奉献的巅峰时刻。请通过你们的行为——拒绝兴奋剂和奉守公平竞技的原则，让我们相信体育运动正日益变得可信和纯洁。
我们的世界需要和平、宽容和友爱。
来自世界上202个国家的运动员，请向我们展示：体育运动能克服民族、政治、宗教和语言的障碍将人类联合在一起。
愿本届奥运会能真正体现在此制定的奥林匹克休战书的精神，在和平中举行。
感谢雅典！感谢希腊！
现在，我荣幸地邀请希腊共和国总统宣布第28届现代奥林匹克运动会开幕。
7.5 The Olympic flame illuminates Beijing
June 8-9, 2004: history shall forever remember the date. The Olympic Flame came down to China’s Divine Land with mankind’s yearning for peace, friendship, civilization and progress and
with the Greek people’s friendship for the Chinese people. rom Travling from Olympia to the Great Wall, the blazing Olympic torch has brought the Olympic spirit to Beijing, and, after illuminating Chinese people’s desire for peace, their wish for participation and their appreciation of the Olympic spirit, the torch has traveled across the five continents to every corner of the earth with the Chinese people’s hearty blessing.
With the centennial impressiveness of the Olympics and the millennial civilization of Chinese history, the Olympic Flame has tied closely together Beijing and Athens, the Chinese people and the people of other countries.
Wherever the torch went, the TV cameras focused on were like unfolding one by one our beautiful picture rolls of unique traditional eastern culture. Beijing, built more than 3,000 years ago and regarded as the ancient oriental capital for over 850 years, continually radiates its charm, to be found along the wide streets and narrow lanes, between the high buildings and large mansions. Its primitive simplicity and latest modernity, its dignity and vigor reflect Beijing’s greater openness, display the Chinese nation’s progress and civilization, how the people live actively and optimistically, enjoy their lifestyles and yearn for the Olympics, and present the Chinese people’s passionate longing and preparing for the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. Not only in Beijing, but also in Qingdao, the co-host city and sub-site for competition for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the people, in their own way, express their warm welcome to the Flame, with countless sails plowing through the blue sea and numerous drums sounding loudly together on the sandy beaches.
On August 29th, Beijing will take over the Olympic flag from Athens. From that moment onward, the attention of the whole world will be focused on Beijing and its preparatory work will be arranged according to a new schedule. We will carry out all the preparations to the highest standard, with the highest quality and at the highest level. We will realize far more widely and deeply the ideals of a “Green, Hi-tech, People’s Olympics”.
We believe that, with the supports of the IOC, of friends in their countries, of overseas Chinese, of our Party Central Committee and State Council and of the whole Chinese people, we are sure to bring into effect the strategic blueprint of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”, and we are sure to dedicate to the world these Olympic Games which will perfectly embody the Olympic ideal and spirit.
May the Olympic Flame blaze forever.
We hope to meet in 2008 in Beijing.
May the Olympic torch be handed down from generation to generation.
May the Olympic spirit be promoted around the world.
9.4population aging in developed countries
过去150年来，工业国家的老年抚养比，即老年人同年轻人的比率，持续上升。二战后的“婴儿潮”时期，增速大幅放缓。但是， 随着“婴儿潮”一代达到退休年龄，抚养比还将继续快速上升。
尽管美国的变化预计将不如其他地区突出——尤其是欧洲和日本，但是美国仍将面临严峻的挑战。到2035年，美国的劳动适龄人口年均增长率预计将从现在的1%降至0.25%左右；同时，65岁以上的人口的比率将从12%剧增至20%。
发达国家预测将出现的这些人口与劳动人口的年龄结构变化主要归结于“婴儿潮”一代出生后出现的生育率下降。美国的总和生育率在1957年达到每名妇女3.5个孩子的峰值后在20世纪70年代初降至2个不到，在1990年又回升至约2.1个。此后，生育率一直保持在2.1左右，这叫做人口更替水平，指的是除人口迁移和寿命变化因素之外使人口规模保持稳定所需要的生育率水平。欧洲和日本的生育率远低于更替水平。由于在“婴儿潮”之后出生人口下降，加上预期寿命的升高，预计发达国家的老年人口同劳动人口的比率将
上升。
同理，大多数发展中国家的人口在不远的将来比发达国家增长更快。最终，这些发展中国家生育率的下降和寿命的增加有可能导致与发达国家类似的人口老龄化的问题，但是可能只会发生在美国和其他发达国家人口转型之后。
9.5 联合国驻华协调代表谈中国的家庭与人口
家庭问题是十分复杂的，与经济、社会和文化等各方面的发展息息相关。世界各地有充分证据表明，老龄化、人口迁徙和艾滋病等引起的家庭结构及规模的变化，将在经济、社会和文化上对家庭产生负面影响，除非我们仔细研究、认真对待这些问题。
中国的情况也不例外。中国是世界上人口最多的国家，自20世纪50年代起，中国经历了一个人口快速增长的时期，现有的13亿人口以每年700万人的速度在增长。中国政府一直将关系到每个社会成员衣食住行等家庭问题作为首要问题来对待。中国家庭一般三代同堂，近年来有所变化。
中国致力于改革已经20多年，拥有强大的体制和勤劳的人民，这些使中国取得了前所未有的成就，使四五亿人口成功摆脱贫困，使中国成为世界上最大的贸易国之一，并完成了大部分联合国千年发展目标，其中有些目标比预期的2015年提前了整整11年。然而，正如去年3月发布的中国千年发展目标进度报告所指出，一些老问题依然存在，而快速发展又产生了一些新得问题。东部和西部之间、农村和城市之间、男性与女性之间的发展日益不平衡，是急需尽快解决的紧迫问题。同时，经济与社会、人类与自然的发展的矛盾也日渐突出。家庭，尤其是贫困家庭，面临艾滋病的威胁，缺乏机会，无法享受各种资源和服务，生存环境日益恶化。中国政府正努力通过自己的千年发展目标来应对这些挑战，也就是力争到2020年实现全面小康社会。
中国国家人口与计划生育委员会以及其他各级政府部门担负着保证家庭问题与国家整体发展进程紧密联系的挑战和责任。帮助完成这一使命符合我们的共同利益。
10.3 中与欧盟的关系
女士们、先生们、朋友们：
今天，我很荣幸给大家介绍欧盟的一些情况以及欧盟与中国的关系。
欧盟全称为欧洲联盟，是在欧洲共同体基础上由25个（27）独立的国家组成的，目的是为了加强政治、经济和社会合作。原来称“欧共体”或“欧洲经济共同体”。
目前的25个成员国是奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典、英国、塞浦路斯（希腊部分）、捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、马耳他、欧兰、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚。
欧盟25国总面积400万平方公里，接近半个中国的面积。总人口数为4.544亿，排行第三，仅次于中国和印度，约占世界总人口的7%。
欧盟统一货币为欧元，2002年1月1日正式启用。到目前为止，已经有12个欧盟成员国用欧元取代其本国货币。统一货币是旅行和价格比较变得容易些，它还为欧洲的商业往来、刺激增长与竞争创造了一个稳定的环境。
到目前为止，欧盟的国内生产总值逾10万亿美元。作为一个整体，这个规模与它的主要竞争对手美国差不多。经济总量和贸易总额分别占全球25%和35%。
欧盟与中国关系十分友好。今年5月欧盟与中国就建交30周年了。去年，欧盟与中国的进出口贸易总额达到2，000亿欧元。德国是中国最大的贸易伙伴，英国、荷兰名列第二和第三。
欧盟正抓住当前这一打好的历史机遇——团结曾经分裂的欧洲大陆，创造一个和平、稳定、民主的欧洲。这次欧盟的扩大还将创造一个几乎拥有5亿消费者的统一市场，这个市场饱含经济增长和不断繁荣的极大潜
力。
我的话讲完了，谢谢大家！
10.4 中国与东盟的关系
A: Excuse me, could you tell me when ASEAN was established? And how many member countries does it have now?
B: 东盟于1967年8月8日成立，目前有10个成员国，它们是：文莱、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、老挝、马来西亚、缅甸、菲律宾、泰国、新加坡和越南。
A: Besides these 10 member countries, ASEAN also always holds the 10+1, 10+3 meetings. Does it mean that ASEAN has some dialogue partners?
B: 是的。东盟有10个对话伙伴，它们是澳大利亚、加拿大、中国、欧盟、印度、日本、俄罗斯、新西兰、韩国和美国。
A：What is the area that ASEAN covers? How many languages are spoken in this region? What is the total population?
B: 东盟地区面积大约有450万平方公里，有14中官方语言和7种宗教。人口总数在2000年有5.12亿。
A: 4.5 million square kilometers is about half of China’s territory, such a big regional organization neighboring China. How is the relationship between ASEAN and China now?
B：东盟不仅在区域上面积广大，在经济、政治、科技上也是一个举足轻重的地区。所有的东盟成员国都
是中国的友好近邻。自从上世纪90年代以来，中国与东盟的关系一直很好，政治联系日益密切。
A：Can you give some data?
B: 在中国与东盟的关系中，经贸。科技方面的合作是基本的组成部分。1994年的贸易总额从120亿增加到235亿美元，其中中欧广告的出口是109.2亿美元，进口123.6亿美元。双方的相互投资过去几年也不断增加。东盟在劳动力合作和项目开放方面已经成为中国的重要市场。中国和东盟已经同意用8年的时间创建世界人口最密集的自由贸易区。
A：The relationship is very good economically, but how about politically?
B：东盟是一个非常活跃的地区性组织，在发展相互了解与互信、捍卫地区国家间的和平与发展起到非常积极的作用。中国与东盟的友好合作证明，国家无论大小，他们可能有不同的历史背景、社会制度、发展水平、文化传统以及价值观念，但是只要他们遵守和平共处五项原则，他们一定会和谐共处，共同发展。
15.3中国外贸实现开门红
Statistics recently released by the General Administration of Customs indicates that China’s foreign trade, on the basis of last year’s rapid growth, has made a good start. In January, the trade volume rose 33.1% year-on-year to USD 95.06 billion. Exports hit USD 50.77 billion, a 42.2% rise over the same period of the previous year. Imports grew to USD 44.29 billion, 24% up year-on-year. The economy achieved a trade surplus of USD 6.48 billion.
According to the Customs’ statistics, in January, exports of general trade skyrocketed while the growth rate of imports slowed down. In processing trade, both exports and imports soared, continuing the strong growth momentum. Foreign-funded enterprises in China continued to maintain their rapid growth, with a 42.4% increase in exports and a 30% rise in imports. Exports and imports of collective-owned, private and other enterprises have also maintained their strong
growth momentum, with a jump of 77.3% in exports and a rise of 33.9% in imports. The growth rate of exports and imports by the state-owned enterprises is much lower than that achieved by the two above-mentioned types of enterprises, with exports increasing by 22.1% and imports by 11.1%.
January also saw a sharp increase of China’s trade with its three major trade partners. Its trade with the European Union, the United States and Japan reached USD 15.89 billion, USD 14.33 billion, and USD 12.86 billion. They represented a respective year-on-year growth of 36.4%, 30.8% and 28.4%.
