美國對中國購買華爾道夫進行審查

The U.S. government is reviewing the Hilton company's planned sale of the famed Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City to a Chinese insurance company.

A spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations said Tuesday that last week's $1.95 billion sale to Anbang Insurance Group is being scrutinized. He said particular attention will be given to a planned major renovation included in the terms of the deal.

The Waldorf Astoria has been home to U.S. envoys to the U.N. for more than 50 years.

Every September, the U.S. State Department takes over two floors of the Waldorf to serve as headquarters for the horde of U.S. diplomats that come from Washington for the U.N. General Assembly.

The sale allows Hilton to run the hotel for the next 100 years.美國政府正在審查希爾頓公司計劃將聞名遐邇的紐約華爾道夫酒店賣給一家中國保險公司的交易。

美國駐聯合國使團的一名發言人庫珀星期二說，上星期安邦保險集團耗資19億5千萬美元的交易正受到詳細審查。特別是這筆交易中包含的全面整修計劃。

紐約華爾道夫酒店50多年來一直是美國駐聯合國大使的住處。

每年九月，國務院會包下華爾道夫酒店兩層樓，作爲從華盛頓去參加聯合國大會的成羣美國外交人員的總部。

這筆交易允許希爾頓在今後100年繼續經營這家酒店。
