世行報告刪除中國金融改革章節
The World Bank has removed a chapter from a report on China's economy issued on Wednesday that called for urgent steps to reform the country's "distorted" financial system, saying it had not been properly reviewed before publication.
世界銀行(World Bank)將其週三發佈的關於中國經濟的報告刪除了一章，並稱該章內容在發佈前未經該行常規內部審覈。在被刪除的這章裏，世行曾呼籲中國採取緊急措施，改革該國“遭到扭曲”的金融體系。The incident risks heightening tensions between China and the western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even as China launches its own development bank seen as an attempt to create parallel institutions over which it can exert greater control, writes Andreas Paleit.
在中國發起創立它自己的開發銀行之際，這起事件可能會加劇它與世行及國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)之間的緊張關係。世行和IMF由西方主導，而中國發起創立亞投行(AIIB)之舉被視爲試圖建立一套中國擁有更多控制權的平行機構。
The redacted chapter, titled "Special Topic: Reform Priorities in China's Financial Sector", was included in the original version of the bank's China Economic Update but has since been removed.
標題爲《專題：中國金融業改革的首要任務》(Special Topic: Reform Priorities in China's Financial Sector)的一章曾被納入世行《中國經濟簡報》（China Economic Update，以下簡稱：《簡報》）的最初版本，但後來遭到刪除。
It warned that "the poor performance of the financial system" had confirmed previous assessments that the system was "unbalanced, repressed, costly to maintain, and potentially unstable". It also highlighted "risks stemming from wasteful investment, overindebtedness and a weakly regulated shadow-banking system".
這一章曾警告說，“中國金融體系的糟糕表現”爲之前對該體系作出的評價提供了佐證。這些評價稱，中國金融體系“不平衡、受抑制、維護成本高、而且可能不穩定”。這一章還強調了“無效投資、過度舉債以及影子銀行體系監管薄弱造成的風險”。Progress on financial reform is expected to be a key criterion for the IMF's decision within the next year over whether to endorse the renminbi as an official reserve currency.
接下來的一年裏，IMF在決定是否爲人民幣的官方儲備貨幣地位背書時，中國金融改革的進展預計將成爲一個關鍵判據。But China has long been sensitive to criticisms of its economy from the World Bank and IMF, which remain dominated by the United States and European Union.
不過，中國長期以來一直對世行和IMF對中國經濟提出的批評十分敏感。世行和IMF目前仍由美國和歐盟主導。
