中國日益擴大的國際接觸對其進步一直是至關(guān)重要的。中國能夠在已取得的經(jīng)濟成功的基礎上進一步發(fā)展，關(guān)鍵是它進入了世界市場。讓我們看幾個統(tǒng)計數(shù)字。1979年以來，外貿(mào)占中國國民生產(chǎn)總值(Gross National Product/GNP)的比重從10%上升到45%。融入世界市場已成為中國經(jīng)濟生活的一個基本事實。繼之而來的是融入世界投資體系。外國資金大量流入中國，外資存量(reserve of foreign funds)從1989年的50億美元上升到1994年的近900億美元。

譯文：China’s growing international engagement has been vital to her progress. The key to sustaining and building on early economic success was China’s move into the world markets. Let’s consider a couple of statistics. Since 1979 foreign trade, as a share of China’s GNP has risen from 10% to 45%. Integration in the world markets became a bare fact of Chinese economic life. With that came integration into the world investment system. Foreign funds flowed into China in a spectacular way. The reserve of foreign funds grew form $ 5 billion in 1989 to nearly 90 billion by 1994.
