【博主按：按英文版意思，題目似為“ 世界無需懼怕增長中的中國 ”，與中文版有點不同。】 The world should not fear a growing China 中国国务院副总理 李克强 为英国《金融时报》撰稿 ，2011-01-10 There is a long history to China’s pursuit of the path of peaceful development. The Book of Songs, a collection of Chinese poems and songs compiled more than 2,000 years ago, reads, “Give relief to people who have toiled much, so they may enjoy a life of Xiaokang. Promote it (Xiaokang) throughout the Central Kingdom and peace will be secured for all the four quarters.” What it means is, when people work too hard, they should be given relief so that they may lead a comfortable life. Doing so benefits the people of China – and the world. The term “Xiaokang” is used today to refer to a society where people can receive education, get paid through work, have access to medical services and old-age support, have a shelter and more than enough food and clothing and lead a well-off life. To build a Xiaokang society in all respects is China’s development goal by 2020. The Chinese people both long for a happy and peaceful life for ourselves and hope to enjoy harmonious relations with our neighbours. China’s development calls for international co-operation over access to markets and resources, and more importantly requires a peaceful external environment. World peace is an important condition for China to achieve Xiaokang, or moderate prosperity, and China’s development in turn is conducive to world peace. 中国始终不渝走和平发展道路的思想源远流长。早在2000多年前，中国古代著名诗集《诗经》中就写道：“民亦劳止，讫可小康；惠此中国，以绥四方”。大意为，百姓辛苦，应休养生息，享受安康；这既造福于中国人民，也有益于天下安宁。而今天的“小康”是指：人们学有所教、劳有所得、病有所医、老有所养、住有所居，生活温饱有余而充裕。全面建成小康社会，是中国到2020年的发展目标。中国人民既期盼自己幸福安康，也希望邦邻和谐。中国的发展，需要市场、资源等方面国际合作，更需要和平的外部环境。世界和平是中国实现小康的重要条件，中国发展了也有利于世界和平。 China’s development benefits other countries. For the past few years, China has contributed 10-20 per cent to world economic growth. Its contribution in 2009 was 50 per cent. Estimates show that in 2010 China’s economy grew by about 10 per cent, and retail sales rose by 18.5 per cent. Domestic demand contributed more than 90 per cent to China’s growth. At the same time, expanding domestic demand has increased China’s imports. It is estimated that in 2010 China’s imports from other parts of the world may well top $1,390bn, ranking the second in the world. China needs to stabilise and expand external demand. At the same time, and more important, it will boost domestic demand. With its population making up one fifth of the world’s total, China offers a market with enormous potential. We welcome the entry into our market of competitive goods and services from around the world, and will provide a fair and even more transparent environment for foreign investors. 中国的发展对其他国家是有益的。近年来，中国经济增长对全球增长的贡献率在10%-20%，2009年达到50%。2010年中国经济预计增长10%左右，商品零售总额增长18.5%，内需对经济增长的贡献率在90%以上。内需的扩大增加了进口。去年中国进口额预计超过1.39万亿美元，居世界第二。我们需要稳定和拓展外需，更致力于扩大内需。中国人口占世界1/5，国内市场潜力巨大。我们欢迎世界各国有竞争力的产品和服务进入中国市场，并将为各国投资者提供更加公平透明的创业环境。 China is committed to work with other countries for a solution to the global challenge of energy and resources. In the past five years, China has worked hard to save energy and resources. China’s energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product has dropped by about 20 per cent. In the coming five years, China will vigorously develop the green economy and low-carbon technologies to bring down significantly energy consumption and CO2 emission per unit of GDP. China relies on domestic supply for more than 90 per cent of its energy consumption, and will continue to rely on domestic supply to appropriately address the issue of energy and resources. By enhancing domestic exploitation and development, China will build a new group of strategic reservoirs of energy and resources. 中国愿与各国携手解决能源资源这一全球性难题。过去五年，我们坚持节约优先，单位国内生产总值能耗下降20%左右。今后五年，我们将大力发展绿色经济、低碳技术，努力使单位国内生产总值能耗、单位国内生产总值二氧化碳排放继续大幅下降。目前中国90%以上能源消费靠国内生产，未来我们仍将立足国内解决能源资源问题，加大国内勘探开发力度，形成一批新的能源资源战略接续基地。 China is a constructive player in the reform of the global economic governance structure. China is a beneficiary of economic globalisation. It calls for reform of the international political and economic order in the course of development. China worked closely with the international community to address the financial crisis and promote global recovery and growth. The world will come to see that the constructive role China has played in global governance is helpful in getting the world economy back towards full recovery and prosperity . 中国是全球经济治理结构改革的参与者、建设者。作为经济全球化的受益者之一，我们主张在发展中调整改革国际政治经济秩序。在应对国际金融危机中，中国与国际社会携手合作，促进了全球增长。实践将证明，中国在全球治理中发挥建设性作用，有利于促进世界经济全面复苏和繁荣发展。 China, as a major country, does not shirk its responsibilities. In recent years, it has arranged nearly $4bn of debt relief for 50 developing countries and it has contributed more than 15,000 peacekeepers. China has actively mediated in areas of regional tension, such as the Korean peninsula, the Iranian nuclear issue, the Arab-Israeli conflict and Darfur. It has acceded to nearly 100 multilateral international conventions, such as on the suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism. It has made solid contribution to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, the International Monetary Fund bail-out programme, the reconstruction of Afghanistan and disaster relief. It sticks to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and has taken concrete actions in tackling global climate change. China will remain conscientious in fulfilling international responsibilities consistent with its status as a major developing country. 中国是负责任的大国。我们减免了50个发展中国家近40亿美元的债务，派出了1.5万多人参加维和行动，参与了朝鲜半岛、伊核、阿以冲突、苏丹达尔富尔等地区问题的斡旋，加入了制止核恐怖行为等100多个国际公约，对联合国千年发展、国际货币基金组织援助、阿富汗重建、国际赈灾等计划的实施做出了贡献。中国坚持共同但有区别的责任原则，采取实际行动应对全球气候变化。我们将认真履行与发展中大国相适应的国际责任。 Reform and opening-up are the driving forces behind our development. China will be steadfast in promoting reform. It will stick to the market orientation of reform and give greater play to the fundamental role of the market in resource allocation. At the same time it remains devoted to greater opening-up, follows a strategy of mutual benefit with other countries and will open the country ever wider to the world. 中国发展的强大动力来自改革开放。我们将坚定不移全面推进改革，坚持市场化的改革方向，在更大程度上发挥市场配置资源的基础性作用。同时，坚定不移扩大对外开放，实施互利共赢的开放战略，不断提高开放水平。 The progress China has made in development is tremendous, but it is still a developing country, facing grave challenges and has a long way to go before it can build a moderately prosperous society and achieve modernisation. China’s development will not be possible without the world – and world development needs China. We are committed to work even more closely with other countries to create a bright future for all. 中国的发展取得了显著成就。但中国还是一个发展中国家，仍面临许多严峻挑战。全面建设小康社会、实现现代化任重而道远。中国的发展离不开世界，世界的发展需要中国。我们愿与世界各国深化合作，共同创造人类美好的未来。 THE END
