世行報告敦促中國市場改革
A new report says China's rapid economic growth is unsustainable unless the country makes major free-market reforms. World Bank President Robert Zoellick released an executive summary of the report, which was jointly prepared by World Bank and Chinese experts. Zoellick said Monday in Beijing that the study had the full support of top leaders including Vice President Xi Jinping, who is slated to assume China's top posts in the coming months.
Zoellick said the study finds China's economy is at a turning point where the central role of state enterprises must be reduced to make room for private companies. The study also urges the government to provide better protection for the rights of farmers whose land is at risk and of migrant workers seeking jobs in the cities. Other recommendations call for China to shift away from its emphasis on exports and encourage more domestic consumption. The report says private banks should be allowed to play a larger role, and interest rates should be determined by market forces.一份新報告稱，如果中國不進行大規模的自由市場改革，中國快速的經濟增長不會持續下去。世界銀行行長佐利克公佈了報告的概要，這份報告由世界銀行和中國專家共同撰寫。佐利剋星期一在北京說，這份報告得到包括中國國家副主席習近平在內的高層領導人的全力支持，人們普遍認爲習近平將在幾個月內成爲中國最高領導人。
佐利克說，中國經濟已經到達一個轉折點，國有企業的主導角色必須被削弱，爲私營企業讓路。報告還敦促中國政府對逐漸喪失土地的農民和大城市的外地民工的權益提供更多保護。報告還呼籲中國從強調出口外銷逐漸轉變爲鼓勵國內消費。報告稱，中國應允許私有銀行發揮更大作用，利率應由市場調節。
