习大大接受路透社书面采访(双语全文)
问:中国企业可能参与英格兰西南部核电站建设。中国政府今年早些时候宣布将支持中国企业在诸如高铁和核电等领域拓展海外市场。未来10年,您希望看到中国企业在全球市场发挥什么样的作用?您认为中国企业拓展海外市场会遇到哪些阻力?是否会导致新的贸易摩擦?中国政府采取国家补贴等方式支持中国企业在海外进行拓展,对其他市场主体是否公平?是否符合中国发展市场经济的目标?
A: China is intensifying its reform and opening-up drive, which means both opening up its economy further to attract foreign investment and encourage Chinese firms to make overseas investment. This is natural when a country reaches a particular stage of development and when a company grows bigger, and this is what all big companies in the world are doing.
答:中国对外开放不断走向深入,这既包括中国打开大门吸引外资,也包括中国企业走出国门进行投资。这是一国经济发展到一定阶段必然发生的事情,也是企业要发展壮大必然进行的事情。世界各大企业都走这条路。
Having benefited from the world economy, Chinese companies should contribute their share to world economic development. China has grown into a global manufacturing power, with particular strengths at the middle rung of the global industrial chain. Many Chinese industrial sectors and equipment making capacity, including the building of high-speed railway and nuclear power stations as well as automobiles making, are advanced and competitive internationally, and meet the demand and absorbing capacity of many countries. China is ready to pursue cooperation of various forms with the UK and other countries in international production capacity and equipment manufacturing to synergize our respective strengths and promote each other's development. The Hinkley Point is the product of tripartite cooperation among China, the UK and France. I hope that the companies of the three countries will fully leverage their respective strengths to ensure the successful launch of this project and deliver benefits to the British people.
中国企业发展得益于世界经济,应该为世界经济发展作出贡献。中国已经成为世界制造业大国,突出优势是处于全球产业链中游,高铁、核电、汽车等一大批产业和装备处于国际先进水平,性价比好,符合很多国家需求和承接能力。中国愿同包括英国在内的各国开展多种形式的国际产能和装备制造合作,把各自比较优势衔接起来,实现联动发展。欣克利角核电站项目是中英法三方合作的产物,希望三国企业充分发挥各自优势,确保项目顺利实施,造福英国人民。
It is normal for a company to encounter various problems when making investment, whether domestically or overseas. When doing business, one should focus on business. Problems that occur in business operations should not be politicized, and Chinese companies should not be viewed with bias. Competition is necessary for a business to grow, and no one will give away a market to its rivals. We hope that such competition is benign and market-based. There should be no swing doors or glass doors which are placed as non-economic or non-market-based barriers. Unlike established multinational companies, Chinese companies still lack experience in making investment overseas. They need to better adapt to local laws and regulations, technological standards, marketing, human resources management rules, local cultures, etc. Chinese companies will learn a lot and emerge successful in fierce international competition.
对外投资遇到一些摩擦属于正常的营商范畴。任何企业只要开展经营活动,不论是在国内还是在国外,总会遇到这样那样的问题。在商言商,不能把企业在经营过程中产生的矛盾政治化,不要带着偏见看待中国企业。企业发展当然要竞争,没有人会把市场拱手让给竞争对手。我们希望这种竞争是良性的、符合市场规律的,而不要设置一些非经济、非市场的“弹簧门”、“玻璃门”。同世界上老牌的大公司对比,中国企业走出去还缺乏经验,在适应各国法律制度、技术标准、市场营销、人员管理、当地文化等方面的能力需要不断提高。在激烈的国际竞争中,中国企业会学到很多,会越做越好。
The Chinese government supports Chinese companies in going global. But we believe that this process should be market-oriented with companies being the main driver. The role of the Chinese government is to secure and create a favorable political environment and a fair legal framework for Chinese companies. This is what all governments are doing, and I think the Western countries are doing better than us. Even under market conditions, countries support the growth of their companies in various ways, and such measures should not be all labelled as government subsidy. China's system is different from that of Western countries. Due to historical reasons, Chinese companies perform many social functions, which are hard to measure with a simple arithmetic formula.
中国政府支持企业走出去,但强调要坚持以企业为主体,以市场为导向。中国政府的作用是为企业争取和创造良好的政治环境和公平的制度框架。这是各国政府都会做的事,而且西方国家做得比我们好。即便在市场经济条件下,各国对企业发展都会有形式多样的支持措施,不能简单把这些都看成是国家补贴。中国和西方国家体制不同,由于历史原因,中国企业往往承担了大量社会职能,难以用一种简单的数学公式来计算。
In the coming decade, China's overseas investment will continue to grow and is forecast to reach 1.25 trillion U.S. dollars. This will provide more opportunities for China-UK cooperation. The Chinese and British companies may also engage in tripartite cooperation in developing countries to integrate the upper stream, middle stream and lower stream of the global value chain and share development opportunities.
未来10年,中国对外投资将持续增长,有关机构测算将超过1.25万亿美元,这将为中英合作提供更多宝贵机遇。两国企业还可以加强在发展中国家的三方合作,把全球价值链的上、中、下游结合起来,共享发展机遇。
4. Britain was the first European country to sign up for membership of the new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). China has promised that the new bank will be transparent and have high governance standards. How will China ensure that the AIIB really will be transparent and have world-class governance?
问:英国是首个申请加入亚洲基础设施投资银行的欧洲国家。中国承诺亚洲基础设施投资银行将透明运作,并实施高标准管理。中国将如何确保亚洲基础设施投资银行运作真正做到透明并实现世界一流管理?
A: China's initiative to establish the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank aims to promote infrastructure development and connectivity in Asia and boost regional cooperation.
答:中国提出筹建亚洲基础设施投资银行,目的是推动亚洲地区基础设施建设和互联互通,深化区域合作。
The AIIB is an international financial institution whose rules of operation are decided by its members through consultation, not by China alone. We agree that the AIIB should fully draw on the experience and practices of other multilateral development banks, observe high international standards in terms of governance structure, operation guidelines, and human resources management, and ensure its professional and efficient operation as well as transparency and integrity. During the negotiation over the AIIB agreement, 57 prospective founding members acted on the principle of openness, inclusion, professionalism and transparency, and concluded a high-quality agreement text. A total of 53 prospective founding members have signed the agreement.
亚投行是一个国际性的金融机构,其规章制度和运作要由各成员国协商决定,并不是中国一家说了就算的。中国赞成亚投行充分借鉴现有多边开发银行的经验和做法,在治理结构、业务政策、人力资源管理等方面坚持国际性、规范性、高标准,确保专业运营、高效运作、透明廉洁。在《亚洲基础设施投资银行协定》谈判过程中,57个意向创始成员国秉承开放、包容、专业、透明的原则,达成了高质量的协定文本,53个意向创始成员国已经签署了协定。
I know that this agreement has drawn on the practices of existing multilateral development banks in many ways. It has also made some breakthroughs and explored new ways of operation. For example, in terms of governance structure, AIIB has, with reference to the common practice of multilateral development banks, set up a three-tiered structure, consisting of a board of governors, a board of directors and a management team. It has also put in place an oversight mechanism in line with the principle of transparency, openness, independence and accountability. It is specified in the agreement that the management team will be selected through an open, transparent and merit-based process. This is a new principle not included in the constitution of existing major multilateral development banks. Another example is that the AIIB places no restriction on the procurement of goods and services from any country, and again this is not the case in the other regional multilateral development banks.
据我了解,这个协定在很多方面借鉴了现有多边开发银行的做法,同时还有所突破和创新。比如,在治理结构上,亚投行按照多边开发银行的通行做法,设立理事会、董事会、管理层三层管理架构,还根据透明、公开、独立、问责的原则建立了银行监督机制。协定中明确写入了“公开、透明、择优”的遴选管理层原则,是一项区别于现有主要多边开发银行章程的创新之举。又比如,亚投行项目采购面向全球所有国家,不局限于成员国,这同其他一些区域性多边开发银行不同。
The AIIB prospective founding members are working on the specific operation guidelines in accordance with the agreement. The relationship between the AIIB and existing multilateral development banks is a cooperative and complementary one. The AIIB will engage in cooperation with them in terms of sharing expertise, capacity building and joint financing.
目前,各意向创始成员国正按照协定的规定和精神协商制定具体的业务政策和规章。亚投行同现有多边开发银行是合作互补关系,未来将在知识共享、能力建设、联合融资等方面积极开展合作。
China commends and welcomes the UK joining into the AIIB. We are ready to work with the UK and all other prospective founding members to build the AIIB into a professional and efficient infrastructure financing platform to contribute to the development of Asia and beyond.
中国积极评价并欢迎英国加入亚投行,愿同包括英方在内的各意向创始成员国一道,将亚投行打造成专业、高效的基础设施投融资平台,为亚洲和全球发展事业作出积极贡献。
