美國財政部長敦促中國加速經濟改革

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Thursday urged China to let the value of its tightly-controlled currency rise, as top diplomats from both countries gathered in Beijing for annual talks on economic and security issues. Geithner's comments came at the start of the two-day U.S.-China Strategic Dialogue.

美國財政部長蓋特納星期四敦促中國允許受到嚴格控制的人民幣升值，美國和中國的高層外交官目前正在北京舉行經濟和安全問題年度會談。蓋特納在爲期兩天的美中戰略對話開始時發表了上述評論。

The U.S. Treasury chief expressed support for China's plan to overhaul its financial system to increase support for private enterprise and reduce special treatment for state-owned companies. But he said China should accelerate its economic reforms. A senior U.S. official said Thursday that some progress has already been made in the economic talks. He told reporters on condition of anonymity that China has agreed to consider adopting international rules on providing credit to its exporters.

蓋特納表示支持中國計劃全面審查其財政體系，以加強對私營企業的支持以及減少對國有企業的特殊待遇。但他表示，中國應當加快經濟改革速度。一名高層美國官員星期四說，在經濟會談中已經取得了一些進展。他在不透露姓名的條件下對記者說，中國已經同意考慮接受有關爲其出口商提供信用狀的國際規則。
