国的资金、技术和管理经验为中国经济注入了活力。中国很多年轻人打的是摩托罗拉手机，用的是戴尔、康柏笔记本电脑，与朋友相聚在星巴克、麦当劳或肯德基。
With the rapidly growing Sino-U.S. economy cooperation, China has become the third largest trading partner and the fastest-growing export market of the United States, while the U.S. is now China’s second largest trading partner and top source of FDI. Such cooperation has not only delivered enormous tangible benefits to the two peoples but also boosted economic growth across the world. The import by the U.S. of larger amounts of Chinese products of good quality and low prices has alleviated the inflation pressure and saved American consumers nearly U.S.$20 billion every year. American capital, technology and managerial expertise, in turn, have instilled vitality into the Chinese economy. Many young Chinese are making calls with Motorola cell phones, working with Dell or Compaq laptops, and hanging out with friends in Starbucks , McDonald’s or KFC.

The current global environment is, taken as a whole, as promising as it has been for the last few years. Last year’s growth performance was impressive by any standard. And low inflation globally has provided a significantly improved environment for economic policymaking. But there are clouds on the horizon: continuing geopolitical uncertainly; the global payments imbalances; uncomfortably high energy prices. The old adage is true---it really does make sense to fix the roof while the sun is shining. Longer term stability will only come if governments follow prudent fiscal polices and undertake reforms during good times .

总体来说目前的国际环境与过去的几年一样令人乐观。无论用什么标准来看，去年的经济增长都很出色。全球的低通货膨胀率为经济政策的制定显著改善了环境。然而天边也有阴云：地缘政治的不确定性持续不断，全球收支失衡依然存在，高昂的油价令人担忧。古话说得好，未雨绸缪很有必要。只有政府采取谨慎的财政政策并在经济景气的时候进行改革才能获得长期稳定。 P2
Last year was the best year for global GDP growth in decades. Most parts of the world recorded improved growth performance. The prospects for this year remain favorable, although growth is likely to be at a slower, more sustainable pace: it is projected to fall from about 5% to under 4.5% this year. Global trade has also recovered strongly since the downturn in 2001, and continues to be an important engine of growth: it is currently expanding at something close to twice the rate of growth of the world GDP.
去年是十几年来全球总值增长最快的一年。世界大部分地区都有进一步增长。今年的前景看来也很乐观，尽管增长速度可能会稍微慢一些，持续性会更强一些。预计今年的增长率会从5%下降到不足4.5%。全球贸易自从2001年低迷时期以后也反弹强劲，并且继续成为增长的重要动力：目前的增长速度几乎是全球国内生产总值的两倍。 P3
亚洲有49个国家和地区，大部分是发展经济体。全球经济化，有利于它们更多地获得资金，尤其是跨国公司的直接投资，加快经济发展和结构调整；有利于他们更好的利用自身优势，开拓国际市场，发展对外经济贸易；有利于他们更快的得到先进技术、管理经验，发挥后发优势，实现技术跨越。
There are 49 countries and regions in Asia, and most of them are developing economies. Economic globalization will benefit them in the following manner: it will facilitate their access to more capital, especially direct investment from multinationals, which will enable them to speed up their economic development and restructuring. It will encourage them acquire and exploit new markets and develop foreign trade and economic cooperation with other countries by giving full

同时也必须看到，经济全球化是一把双刃剑。由于不合理、不公正的国际政治经济秩序没有得到根本改变，经济全球化加剧了各国各地区发展不平衡性。尤其是使南北的发展差距，贫富差距进一步扩大。经济全球化也使发展中国家更容易受到外部经济波动和金融危机的影响。上个世纪90年代末发生的亚洲金融危机，就是亚洲一些国家和地区受到猛烈冲击。
At the same time, it must be noted that economic globalization is a double-edge sword. As the unfair and unreasonable international political and economic order has not been fundamentally changed yet, economic globalization has exacerbated the uneven development among countries and regions and widened, in particular, the gap between the North and the South and between the rich and the poor. It has also made developing countries more vulnerable to the impact of external economic turmoil and financial crisis, as evidenced by the grave impact of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s on some Asian countries and regions.
