盖特纳批评中国多项经济政策

China needs to reduce unfair subsidies and stop the theft of intellectual property as well as letting its currency appreciate, Tim Geithner, US Treasury secretary, has said.
美国财长蒂姆•盖特纳(Tim Geithner)表示，除了允许人民币升值以外，中国还需削减不公平的补贴，并制止盗窃知识产权行为。

In a speech on Wednesday ahead of next week’s visit to Washington by Hu Jintao, Chinese president, Mr Geithner widened the range of US concerns about Chinese economic policy well beyond the currency that has been a focus of Capitol Hill’s anger with Beijing.
盖特纳是在周三发表上述讲话的，而下周中国国家主席胡锦涛就将访问美国。盖特纳在讲话中扩大了美国对中国经济政策感到关切的范围，远不仅限于汇率问题。人民币汇率一直是美国国会对北京不满的焦点。

But he also sought to reduce the blame attached to China for domestic economic woes, noting that the US needed to invest more in research and development, reform education and improve public infrastructure.
但他也有意缓和有关方面将美国国内经济问题归咎于中国的指责之声，

China should promote fair competition by reducing the implicit state subsidies to its companies from low-cost finance, land and energy, and clamp down harder on the theft of intellectual property from foreign companies, he said. The world needed “a more level playing field for US companies that compete with Chinese companies in China, in the United States and around the world”.
盖特纳表示，中国应减少政府通过低成本融资、土地和能源对企业给予的隐性补贴，以促进公平竞争，并加大力度打击盗窃外国公司知识产权的现象。“和中国企业在中国、美国以及世界各地进行竞争的美国企业，需要一个更加公平的竞争环境”。

Addressing the rising Chinese currency, Mr Geithner said that the current rate of appreciation of about 6 per cent a year – more like 10 per cent in real terms because of higher Chinese inflation – was substantial but inadequate. “We believe it is in China’s interest to allow the currency to appreciate more rapidly in response to market forces,” he said. He said the country’s moves to relax capital restrictions to allow more trading in the renminbi were also highly significant.
谈到人民币升值问题，盖特纳表示，目前人民币一年约6%的升值幅度——考虑到中国通胀上升，实际升幅更接近10%——相当可观，但还不够大。他说：“我们认为，允许人民币顺应市场力量加快升值步伐符合中国利益。”他还表示，中国放宽资本管制、允许扩大人民币贸易的举措也具有极其重要的意义。

Mr Geithner’s wider focus chimes with the views of many business organisations and some senior Republicans in the US House of Representatives.
盖特纳扩大对中国问题的关注焦点，吻合许多商业机构以及美国众议院部分资深共和党议员的观点。
