Text ComprehensionAnswer the following questions according to the text.1.He insisted closer co-operation on a range of challenges from lifting the global economy tonuclear proliferation and climate change.[Para 4]2.Mr Obama made only brief reference to China's poor human rights record, which used toloom much larger in discussions and bracketed his criticism with acknowledgement of China's great "ancient culture" and the vibrant contribution of Chinese Americans to the US.[Paras11-13]3.He means that both China and the US are suffering the economic and other crisis.4.The strongest message was that Americans are leaning to save more and spend less, meaningChina cannot rely on exports to the US for its growth and will have to raise domestic consumption. [Para.16]5.The Berlin Wall symbolized a decades-long symbol of division, that is, the Iron Curtainbetween Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc as well as the cold war between western capitalist countries and the eastern socialist ones, and the tearing down of the Wall indicated that conflicts can be solved and globalization was on the way. [Para 25]6.The questions are as follows: Will growth be stalled by events like our current financial crisis,or will we cooperate to create balanced and sustainable growth, lifting more people out of poverty and creating a broader prosperity around the world? Will the need for energy breed competition and climate change, or will we build partnerships to produce clean power and to protect our planet? Will nuclear weapons spread unchecked, or will we forge a new consensus to use this power for only peaceful purposes? Will extremists be able to stir conflict and division, or will we unite on behalf of our shared security? Will nations and peoples define themselves solely by their differences, or can we find common ground necessary to meet our common challenges, and to respect the dignity of every human being?[Para 27]7.He wanted to emphasize his point that both the US and China benefit from engagement that isgrounded in mutual interest and mutual respect. [Para 29]8.The US and China’s ability to partner with each other is a prerequisite for progress on manyof the most pressing global challenges. [Para 31]9.According to President Obama, we can promote financial stability through greatertransparency and regulatory reform. We can pursue trade that is free and fair, and seek to conclude an ambitious and balanced Doha Round agreement. We can update international institutions so that growing economies like China play a greater role that matches their greater responsibility. And as Americans save more and Chinese are able to spend more, we can put growth on a more sustainable foundation -- because just as China has benefited from substantial investment and profitable exports, China can also be an enormous market for American goods. [Para 33]10.According to President Obama, the US and China can cooperate to advance their mutualbenefits in the following four respects: 1. in a lasting economic recovery; 2. in a clean, secure, and prosperous energy future; 3. in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons; 4. in confronting transnational threats. [Paras 33-38]11.The United States respects the progress that China has made by lifting hundreds of millions ofpeople out of poverty, and it also respects China's ancient and remarkable culture, its remarkable achievements, and the vibrant contribution of Chinese Americans to the US. [Para41]12.According to President Obama, China has its own distinct story that shapes its ownworldview. And Americans know the richness of China's history because it helped to shape the world and it helped to shape America. Americans know the talent of the Chinese people because they have helped to create this great country. President Obama’s own Cabinet contains two Chinese Americans. And they know that despite our differences, America is enriched through deeper ties with a country of 1.3 billion people that is at once ancient and dynamic -- ties that can be forged through increased exchanges among their people, and constructive bilateral relations between these two governments. That is how they will narrow their divisions. [Para 43]13.Mr. Obama says that he believes in a future where China is a strong, prosperous andsuccessful member of the community of nations; a future when their nations are partners out of necessity, but also out of opportunity. This future is not fixed, but it is a destination that can be reached if they pursue a sustained dialogue like the one that they will commence today, and act on what they hear and what they learn. [Para 44]14.He mentioned their words to emphasize the importance of cooperation and dialogue betweenthe US and China. [Para 22, Para 45]15.The talks are expected to be dominated by the global economic crisis and efforts to reach adeal on how to confront global warming.Obama urged China to begin boosting domestic demand and shift away from a dependence on exports. The US has been concerned that China is saving too much as the economic downturn has prompted a sharp decrease in consumer consumption around the world.Obama also said China and the US must be united in their efforts to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of Iran and to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.Obama also urged China to further open up its society, improve human rights, and protect minorities and the place of other religions.IV.

第10课更自由的贸易外刊经贸知识选读,每课重要知识点,串讲,课文翻译

第10课关于关贸总协定和世界贸易组织Freer Trade, with Luck自由贸易，一路走好1.In the past few days differences between the United States and the European Community on farm trade have narrowed almost to nothing. As a result the world is now close to concluding the Uruguay round of GATT talks. That deal is admittedly far from perfect, a series of messy compromises The cause of free trade will have many more battles to fight. Never mind. On a conservative estimate the Uruguay round would permanently raise global welfare by more than $100 billion a year, spur economic growth everywhere (especially in the world’s poorest countries) and extend competition to hither to sheltered, and therefore backward, parts off all economies. By any standards, it would be a hugely valuable achievement.Cause----aim, principle or movement that is strongly defended or supported 极力维护或支持的目标﹑原则或运动; 事业: a good cause, ie one that deserves to be supported, eg a charity 高尚的目标（应为之尽力的目标, 如慈善事业）* He fought for the republican cause in the civil war. 他在内战中为共和事业而战. * Her life was devoted to the cause of justice. 她为正义事业而献身.在过去的几天中，美国同欧共体之间有关农产品贸易的分歧几乎荡然无存。

Recent reports from the Working Group on Financial Reform led by Paul V olcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman; the group chaired by Jacques de Larosière, former governor of the Banque de France; and the report fr om Lord Turner, chairman of Britain’s Financial Services Authority, display a remarkable consensus on the areas most in need of an overhaul.

The most likely outcome is that decades of global financial integration begin to unravel [Para 22]. 11. Far from worrying that banks have become “too big to fail”, governments in the US and UK have encouraged groups such as Bank of America and Lloyds TSB to take over failing institutions, which infected the purchasers with the same disease, forcing even larger banks into state arms. In addition, the demand for powers to wind down large financial institutions is at odds with promises by ministers that they will not allow another big bank to fail. 12.

KEY TO EXERCISESSection A: Text ComprehensionI. Reference Answers to Pre-reading Questions:1.Jim Carter [Para 2]2.Brzezinski attracted worldwide attention by elaborating his G-2 idea with an article in theFinancial Times entitled "The Group of Two that could change the world".[Para 7]3.He thinks that Barack Obama is a conciliator at heart. [Para 16]4.For the idea of G-2 to work, the US has to adjust fundamentally foreign policy it has followedsince the end of Word War II, away from neo-imperialism toward Wilsonian/FDR liberalism, and give up its aim of peaceful evolution of Chinese society towards market capitalism. A G-2 would have to be a leading force in building a new world order of social justice and economic equity. [Para 27]5.Mao's vision of US-China relations transcends fleeting geopolitical tactics of balance ofpower, towards a long-range peaceful coexistence of two of the world's largest nations. [Para 30]Section B: ExercisesI. Detailed ExaminationIdentify whether each of the following statements is true (T) or false (F) according to your understanding of the text details.1. F2. T3. T4. F5.

China's 'peaceful rising' 6). decision-maker7). in-depth discussion8). unipolar world order9). win-win symbiosis10). peaceful evolution11). run counter to 12). mutual benefitIII. Text ComprehensionAnswer the following questions according to the text.1.Because there was no official counterpart observation in the US. [Para 3]2.Brzezinski thinks China could help the US find solutions to the problems like the globalfinancial crisis, the challenges of climate change, North Korea and Iran nuclear ambitions, India and Pakistan tension and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. [Para 6]3.According to Brzezinski, it precipitated almost from the start security co-operation that hasbeen of genuine benefit both to the US and China. The effect was to change the Cold War's global chessboard - to the disadvantage of the Soviet Union. Indirectly, the normalization facilitated Chairman Deng Xiaoping's decision to undertake a comprehensive economic reform. China's growth would have been much harder without the expansion in US-Chinese trade and financial relations that followed normalization." [Para 8]4.It describes the relationship as one of "complex interdependence", in which both sidesevaluate each other in pragmatic and moderate terms and in which "the two sides can compete and consult within existing international rules". Yet the reality of US-China relations is one of unending US provocation and hostility on a compliant China. [Para 9]5.China should adopt a full employment objective and an income policy financed by sovereigncredit in order to develop a vibrant domestic market that would absorb the sharp shrinkage of its export sector resulting from the global financial crisis. The way for China to use sovereign credit to finance domestic economic development is to free China from dollar hegemony by demanding settlement of its export trade to be denominated in yuan. [Para 10]6.According to Brzezinski, if both sides at all times keep in mind the centrality of theirinterdependence, they will be able to cope with other contentious issues.7.They are mainly about listing Brzezinski’s ideas on forming G2. Specifically, Para 11 is aboutChina’s revisionist power and “the US-China’s common perspectives” which are helpful in forming G2; Para 12 analyses the Chinese own view or stand toward the idea of revisionist power. Para 13-16 are about his views on the fields in which the US and China can cooperate. national interests globally would be better served by a strategy of making friends withChina by sharing power globally because eventually the US will need the support of the world's most populous country to preserve and shore up its own global dominance. By contrast, conflicts with China will drain US capacity to maintain its global dominance. [Para 18]9.Brzezinski, the grand master of geopolitical chess, plots his strategy several moves ahead ofthe game. Geopolitical pluralism must first be promoted to defuse challenges to US superpower, followed by encouraging compatible key partners to cooperate under US leadership, and finally the pragmatic sharing of global geopolitical responsibility can be rewarded with a sharing of power. The twin poles of this strategy are a united Europe in the West and strong China in the East; with the problematic central regions stabilized within a new balance of power. [Para 20]10.The US, in view of the self-inflicted damage to its freewheeling market economy that can beexpected to leave the country in a protracted depression, will need a trade partner with high growth potential to absorb its overcapacity. China emerges in the 21st century as the idealcandidate for the new ally with a special relationship with the US. From the US security perspective, an alliance with China will spare the US from again involving itself directly in a war in Asia, a role the US alliance with Japan had repeatedly failed to accomplish. From the US economic perspective, US-China economic interdependence has the potential of a win-win symbiosis. Brzezinski anticipates that a G-2 would be more effective in dealing with multilateral global issues than the G-5 (France, Germany, Italy, UK, US) or G-6 (G5+Japan) or G-7 (G6+Canada) or G8 (G7+ Russia) or even the G-20 (G7+developing countries including China). [Para 21-22]11.The author uses examples and illustrations to tell us that Brzezinski's vision is not shared byall in US.12.notwithstanding Brzezinski's assertion, China is not a "revisionist" power, but anon-expansionist revolutionary state aiming at restoring its natural historical status as it was before the arrival of Western imperialism in Asia. China is not interested in bringing back a pre-World War II world order of imperialist exploitative expansion. China is not Japan, which as a defeated nation has been willing to play the role of a submissive ally with a benevolent victor.13.The author thinks that a G-2 regime would inflict on China the side-effects of rising anti-USsentiments from around the world at a time when US power is declining from self-inflicted wounds. [Para 32]By being a member of the proposed G-2, China would be necessarily saddled with the burdens of being a special ally of a superpower without the benefits or even the need of being a superpower itself. [Para 33] A G-2 will create unavoidable geopolitical problems for China in Asia, and also relating to the US global war on terrorism. It will exacerbate China's problem with Islamic separatists. [Para 34]The reason is thata.China is not likely to play Brzezinski's new Great Game.b.China is not a "revisionist" power, but a non-expansionist revolutionary state aiming atrestoring its natural historical status as it was before the arrival of Western imperialism in Asia.c.China is not interested in bringing back a pre-World War II world order of imperialistexploitative expansion.d.China is not Japan, which as a defeated nation has been willing to play the role of asubmissive ally with a benevolent victor. [Para 28]e.The foreign policy of the People's Republic since its founding in 1949 has a long legacyof nonalignment. [Para 29]f.China views itself is a natural member of developing countries, but does not see itself asthe group's leader either by design or by default. [Para 31]g.Brzezinski's G2 strategy runs counter to Deng Xiaoping's strategy of "hide capacity, bidetime"[Para 31]h.China's first priority should be to secure her position as the leading protector of Asianinterests against neo-imperialism from the G-5. A strong China needs also a strong, independent Asia free from undue manipulation by external forces.i.China should tilt towards Japan as a friendly neighbor and not fantasize about unrealisticUS friendship with a socialist China.j.Chinese policymakers will be disappointed if they are not realistic about deep-rooted US hostility toward China. China must avoid open conflict with the US, but Chinesepolicymakers must understand that the US will never be China's friend as long as the communist party is in control of China.k.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's overture of peace and cooperation to China is merely an emergency measure in response to a collapsed economy and exhaustion from undeclared foreign wars.14.China now needs to carefully consider any disingenuous invitation to join and save theprecarious US-constructed and dominated world system at a time when conditions around the world are making the prospect of a new, just world order on the horizon a welcome possibility.[Para 40]IV.

外刊经贸知识选读第2课

第 2课中国吸收外国直接投资The Curtain Goes up 竹幕卷起一、课文翻译中国政府允许外国在沿海投资― 从而差生了不同的法则并引起困惑。

1. 满怀信心的中国卷起大部分竹幕，向世界宣布“对外开放”，几乎所有的城市都张挂起邀请外商来投资作正当生意的招牌。

2. 广东省和福建省的4个经济特区、14个沿海开放城市（都是以前的通商口岸）和海南岛（总共十九个“开放”区）为外国投资者制定了税收和其他方面的鼓励政策。

每一个省会都在尽力吸引外资。

3. 所有这一切的基础是从1979年中期国务院决定在南方建立4个经济特区开始，尔后逐步形成的。

此后首次出台一项合资企业法（尽管充满漏洞），继之就是“补偿贸易”程序----两者都是为吸引外资到这4个经济特区而制定的。

第二年合资企业税法颁布实施。

4. 尽管商人们努力与拥有10亿人口的潜在市场做生意而与官僚主义作斗争，但中国领导人对于深圳----这个经济特区的典范----前进的步伐变得越来越不耐烦了。

5. 1984年4月，在中国高层领导人访问了深圳、珠海和厦门经济特区之后，国务院宣布沿整个海岸的14个城市再加上海南岛对外开放投资，从此把真正的竞争因素引入中国经济发展的计划中。

接着，备受公众注目的《关于经济结构改革的决定》出台，吸收外国技术和外资的竞争骤然开始。

6. 对于外商来说，进入拥有10亿消费者市场的前景不再是白日梦。

中国人---尤其是农村人口---正变得富有，他们希望其生活水平有明显的改善：他们渴望拥有彩电、冰箱、卡车、洗衣机和更好的收音机、自行车和衣服。

即使是地方厂商也注意到国内市场潜在的巨大销售量。

7. 最近，中国沿海城市经济技术开发集团---19个“开发区域”政策制定和协调机构领导人、国务委员谷牧宣布整个沿海对外开放投资。

从字面上理解，这并没有多大意义，因为还没“开放”的沿海地区还不能满足外商的需求。

事实上，经济特区中的汕头，14个沿海城市中的一些城市，再加上海南岛，甚至不具备履行中央政府授予的职责所需的行政支持或基础设施。

外刊经贸知识选读习题集及答案

《外刊经贸知识选读》习题集I. INTERNA TIONAL TRADE一、翻译-中译英1. 一个国家贸易规模的相对大小经常通过该国的出口金额占其国内生产总值的比例来衡量。

2. 最重要的海运单据是提单。

它首先是发货人与船公司之间的一种合约；其次是收到货物的收据；第三是所有权单证。

3. 典型的信用证可能要求以下单证：发票、提单、海运保险单、装箱单、磅码单、检验证书及产地证。

4. 国际贸易是一个国家所生产的商品和服务和另一个国家所生产的商品和服务之间的交换。

5. 海关同中央银行紧密地合作，以确保货物只能按照现行的管理条例进口或出口。

二、翻译-英译中1. The issuing bank examines the draft and documents upon receipt, to ensure that the documents conform to the letter of credit. If anything is wrong, the discrepancies are subject to acceptance by the buyer.2. Consular invoices are declarations made at the consulate of the importing country. They confirm the ex works cost of a consignment.3. “Ex works” means that the seller delivers when he places the goods at the disposal of the buyer at the seller’s premises or another named p lace not cleared for export and not loaded on any collecting vehicle.4. “Free Carrier” means that the seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier nominated by the buyer at the named place.5. “Cost, Insurance and Freight” means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the ship’s rail in the port of shipment.6. “Delivered Ex Ship” means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on board the ship not cleared for import at the named port of destination.三、阅读-归纳Passage 1Chinese trade officials remain alarmed at the extent of the abuse of trade compensatory measures against China, although the number of anti-dumping investigations involving China has actually dropped. China remains the world’s largest vic tim of the abuse of anti-dumping measures with 27 investigations having been started into its exports in the latter half of last year, according to latest data from the World Trade Organization (WTO). The large number was partly because China’s exports grew extraordinarily quickly last year against the backdrop of gloomy world economic outlook, said Chinese trade officials. The abuse of anti-dumping measures against China has started to fall as the number was down from 29 investigations into Chinese exports in the latter of 2001, indicated WTO data. Chinese trade officials said China’s WTO membership helped deter foreign countries from discriminatory actions against China. The decrease was also a result of the hard work of the Fair Trade Bureau for Import and Export under the Ministry of Commerce, they said. The bureau, set up immediately after China’s WTO entry in late 2001, has done a lot inhelping domestic companies respond to foreign anti-dumping charges and refraining from vicious price competitions in international market. Officials with the bureau had expected the number of anti-dumping cases involving China would rapidly increase this year, with regard to big growth in Chinese exports last year and reviving international trade protectionism.1. Make a brief summary on the present situation of anti-dumping measures against China.2. Make a brief summary on the reasons which cause the large number of anti-dumping measures against China.3. Make a brief summary on the reasons which lead to the decreased number of anti-dumping measures against China.4. Make a brief summary on the function of Fair Trade Bureau for Import and Export in respond to risk of exportation.Passage 2In January, the United States imported more than $1.2 billion in textiles and apparel from China, up from about $701 million a year ago. Imports of major apparel products from China jumped 546 percent. Last January, for example, China shipped 941,000 cotton knit shirts, which were limited by quotas; this January, it shipped 18.2 million, a 1,836 percent increase. Imports of cotton knit trousers were up 1,332 percent from a year ago. These figures may be understated because China ships a large part of its goods through Hong Kong, and those shipments are not included. Fears that China is going to flood the world market with cheap textile exports have already inflamed tensions between Washington and Beijing because of worries about American manufacturing plants being closed and thousands of jobs being lost. Already, in January, the first month after global quotas were lifted, 12,200 jobs were lost in the United States apparel and textile industries, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some analysts have predicted that China could capture as much as 70 percent of the American market in the next two years. Before the end of quotas, about 16 percent of apparel sold in the United States came from China. Last year, the United States trade deficit with China set a record of $162 billion, making it the largest trade imbalance ever recorded by the United States with a single country. To be sure, some textile importers say this phenomenon may be a one-time surge. Companies, for instance, may have put off shipping goods at the end of last year to avoid the quotas.5. Make a brief summary on the development of textiles imports to the United States from China after the end of quota.6. Make a brief summary on the connection between the end of quota and unemployment in the United States.7. Make a brief summary on the impact of the end of quota on the economy and society of United States.Passage 3International trade is, in principle, not different from domestic trade as the motivation and the behavior of parties involved in a trade do not change fundamentally regardless of whether trade is across a border or not. The main difference is that international trade is typically more costly than domestic trade. The reason is that a border typically imposes additional costs such as tariffs, time costs due to border delays and costs associated with country differences such as language, the legal system or culture. Another difference between domestic and international trade is that factors of production such as capital and labor are typically more mobile within a country than across countries. Thus international trade is mostly restricted to trade in goods and services, and only to alesser extent to trade in capital, labor or other factors of production. Trade in goods and services can serve as a substitute for trade in factors of production. Instead of importing a factor of production, a country can import goods that make intensive use of that factor of production and thus embody it. An example is the import of labor-intensive goods by the United States from China. Instead of importing Chinese labor, the United States imports goods that were produced with Chinese labor. One report in 2010 suggested that international trade was increased when a country hosted a network of immigrants, but the trade effect was weakened when the immigrants became assimilated into their new country.8. Make a brief summary on the definition of international trade.9. Make a brief summary on the difference between international trade and domestic trade.10. Make a brief summary on the reason that the United States imports labor-intensive goodsfrom China.四、阅读-答问A standard, commercial letter of credit (LC) is a document issued mostly by a financial institution, used primarily in trade finance, which usually provides an irrevocable payment undertaking.The letter of credit can also be payment for a transaction, meaning that redeeming the letter of credit pays an exporter. Letters of credit are used primarily in international trade transactions of significant value, for deals between a supplier in one country and a customer in another. In such cases, the International Chamber of Commerce Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits applies (UCP 600 being the latest version).The parties to a letter of credit are usually a beneficiary who is to receive the money, the issuing bank of whom the applicant is a client, and the advising bank of whom the beneficiary is a client. Almost all letters of credit are irrevocable, i.e., cannot be amended or canceled without prior agreement of the beneficiary, the issuing bank and the confirming bank, if any. In executing a transaction, letters of credit incorporate functions common to giros and Traveler's cheques. Typically, the documents a beneficiary has to present in order to receive payment include a commercial invoice, bill of lading, and documents proving the shipment was insured against loss or damage in transit.Letters of credit (LC) deal in documents, not goods. An LC can be irrevocable or revocable. An irrevocable LC cannot be changed unless both buyer and seller agree. With a revoca ble LC, changes can be made without the consent of the beneficiary.A sight LC means that payment is made immediately to the beneficiary/seller/exporter upon presentation of the correct documents in the required time frame. A time or date LC will specify when payment will be made at a future date and upon presentation of the required documents. Negotiation means the giving of value for draft(s) and/or document(s) by the bank authorized to negotiate, viz the nominated bank. Mere examination of the documents and forwarding the same to the letter of credit issuing bank for reimbursement, without giving of value / agreed to give, does not constitute a negotiation.To receive payment, an exporter or shipper must present the documents required by the letter of credit. Typically, the payee presents a document proving the goods were sent instead of showing the actual goods. The Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is normally the document accepted by banks as proof that goods have been shipped. However, the list and form of documents is open to imagination and negotiation and might contain requirements to present documents issued by a neutral third party evidencing the quality of the goods shipped, or their place of origin or place.One of the primary peculiarities of the documentary credit is that the payment obligation is abstract and independent from the underlying contract of sale or any other contract in the transaction. Thus the bank’s obligation is defined by the terms of the credit alone, and the sale contract is irre levant. The defensive of the buyer arising out of the sale contract do not concern the bank and in no way affect its liability. Article 4(a) UCP states this principle clearly. Article 5 the UCP further states that banks deal with documents only, they are not concerned with the goods (facts). Accordingly, if the documents tendered by the beneficiary, or his or her agent, appear to be in order, then in general the bank is obliged to pay without further qualifications.All the charges for issuance of Letter of Credit, negotiation of documents, reimbursements and other charges like courier are to the account of applicant or as per the terms and conditions of the Letter of credit. If the letter of credit is silent on charges, then they are to the account of the Applicant. The description of charges and who would be bearing them would be indicated in the field 71B in the Letter of Credit.1. What is the major function of letter of credit in international trade?2. What does UCP stand for?3. Which institution is the one that issued UCP 600?4. How should the exporter and the importer be called as parties of a letter of credit?5. What is the major function of issuing bank in a letter of credit business?6. What is the connection between the advising bank and the beneficiary?7. What is the major feature of an irrevocable LC?8. Under which circumstance can an irrevocable LC be amended?9. Which kind of LC does the exporter prefer to use, the revocable ones or irrevocable ones?10. As far as the time of payment is concerned, what are the two types of LC?11. Under which circumstances will the bank pay to the exporter?12. Which document is a title document?13. How to understand “the bank’s obligation is independent from sales contract”?14. Will the banks inspect the goods before making payment? Why?15. Usually, who is responsible for the charges for issuance of Letter of Credit?II. INTERNA TIONAL ECONOMIC RELA TIONS AND COOPERA TION一、翻译-中译英1. 工业化或发达国家是指那些除具有先进的农业和原料采掘技术外，还具有相当水平的制造业和服务业的国家。

Text ComprehensionAnswer the following questions according to the text.1.The author wants to prove his idea that the factories are the most startling, intense andimportant aspect of today’s China, and they are startling above all in their scale. [Paras 1-2] 2.The topic sentence of Para 3 is the first one, “the factories are important, for China andeveryone else.” The author supports his idea by offering the following three supporting details:1. China’s success in manufacturing determines its place in the world;2. China’s factoriessupport good causes in China directly or indirectly; 3.the cheap price of Chinese goods is important to American industrial and domestic life, too. Simply put, China’s factories contribute to China’s place in the world, China’s good causes, and the US consumers. [Para 3] 3.In the author’s eyes, the bad effects of China’s factories are as follows: pollution, competitionfor raw materials; slapdash standard of food purity and safety, and the loss of jobs in the other parts of the world. [Para 4]4.The author thinks that some of these complaints are well-founded, others are not; but even ifall were true, they would misdescribe and undervalue what is going on here. [Para 6]5.The author wants to use this sentence as a transitional signal which connects the followingarguments with the idea shown in the preceding paragraph, that is, These factories are both surprising and important in a less obvious, though also fundamental, way, and almost nothing about the way they work corresponds to the way they are discussed in the United States.[Paras 5-6]6.It is the China’s development as a “harmonious society”. [Para 8]7.That idea is not so objective. The working conditions of the factories in China are really verypoor, but workers from the hinterland are better off even than Americans living on minimum wage. They can save most of what they make and feel they are on the way up; the American can’t and doesn’t. Though the pay of Americans living on minimum wage is about 10 times the Chinese factory wage, but that’s before payroll deductions and the cost of food and housing, which are free or subsidized in China’s factory towns. [Para 10]8.Of course it has. Though it creates pollution, China’s goal of developing a harmonious societyhas shown its attempt to deal with income inequalities and the environment protection.Though many people have been mistreated in factories, yet this upheaval, unlike the disastrous Great Leap Forward, etc, still has some benefits for individuals and the nation.Though working conditions amount to slave labor, people are arguably better off economically and feel they are on the way up. The greatest good for the greatest number of the world’s previously impoverished people in a t least the last half century has been achieved in China, thanks largely to the outsourcing boom. That economic success is true, it is important, and the manufacturing export boom has been a significant part of how China has done it. The magnitude of the a chievement can’t be ignored. [Para s 8-11]9.The curve is named for the U-shaped arc of the 1970s-era smiley-face icon, and it runs fromthe beginning to the end of a product’s creation and sale in the following sequence: the company’s brand——the idea for the product——high-level industrial design——the detailed engineering design——the necessary components——the actual manufacture and assembly——the shipping and distribution——retail sales——service contracts and sales of parts and accessories. [Para 13]10.The company which stands at the two ends can earn more money. Chinese companies alwaysstand in the middle stages, while American ones at the two ends. [Para 14]11.About $30 to $40—3 to 4 percent of the total—would be earned by the Chinese factoryowners and the young women on the assembly lines together. [Para 16]12.Yes. Because under this condition, Chinese workers making $1,000 a year have been helpingAmerican designers, marketers, engineers, and retailers making $1,000 a week (and up) earn even more. Plus, they have helped shareholders of U.S.-based companies. What’s more, by placing more than $1 trillion in U.S. stock and bond markets, China has propped up the U.S.economy by raising American asset prices, lowering interest rates for American families taking out mortgages or for American taxpayers financing the ever-mounting federal debt and keeping the dollar value. [Paras 12-19]13.China is different from Japan in the following crucial ways:a.Japan was already a rich and modern country in the 1980s, while China still is not;b.Japan’s leading companies were often competing head-to-head with establishedhigh-value, high-tech companies in the United States, and Gains for Japanese companies often meant direct losses for companies in America, while China’s companies are numerous but small, and Chinese exporters have done best when working for, rather than against, Western companies.c.China’s economy, technically still socialist, has also been strangely more open thanJapan’s.d.China’s behavior, and that of its companies, is easie r to match with standard economictheories than Japan’s. So far, deals have been mainly good for all parties. [Paras 21-27] 14.He says that at the moment, most jobs he has seen the young women in the factories performhave not been “taken” from America, becau se in America these assembly-type tasks would be done by machines. The author also says in Para 6 that even the U.S. takes the measures like forcing the revaluation of RMB, or levying countervailing duties on Chinese cheap goods, it cannot take the jobs back but forces the American multinational to look for cheaper outsourcing places like Vietnam or Cambodia, etc. [Para 32]15.No. because he thinks that even the U.S. government does so, it would not make anyone bringproduction back to the United States. [Para 36]16.American complaints about Chinese practices have this in common: They assume that thesolution to long-term tensions in the trading relationship lies in changes on China’s side. He thinks that assumption is naive, because he believes that if the United States is unhappy with the effects of its interaction with China, that’s America’s problem, not China’s. If a country does not like the terms of its business dealings with the world, it needs to change its own policies, not expect the world to change. China has done just that, to its own benefit—and, up until now, to America’s. [Para 38]IV.
