英国《金融时报》记者:
刚才您在回答提问的时候就提到，中国实际上在农村地区有很大的投资需求，请问鉴于中国有2万亿美元的外汇储备，现在还把钱去借给那些富裕的国家，这是否说得通？第二个问题是有关西藏的。就西藏而言，尤其是从上周以来，在西藏地区以及包括西藏自治区以外的其他藏区，安全措施得到了空前的加强。有鉴于此，这是否意味着中国在该地区所实施的政策存在着严重的问题？
Financial Times:
Premier Wen, I’m from the Financial Times. You mentioned near previous response, China has huge domestic needs for spending, particularly in rural areas. In that contact, does it make sense? For China has two trillion dollars of reserves which is the money that you excessively?? lend to richer countries. A second question is concerned about Tibet. In last week, particular has been??? extraordinary security measures not only in the Tibet autonomous region, but other Tibetan parts of China. Given these very extreme security measures, does it not indicate that there are serious problems with your policies in these regions of the country? Thank you.
温家宝:
关于第一个问题，其实我在英国回答《金融时报》记者问题时已经谈到了，但是我还想说明一下。中国的外汇储备是中国人民通过辛勤劳动而创造出来的，它提高了中国对外支付的能力，也表明了中国经济的实力。
Wen Jiabao:
As for your first question, I think I’ve given an answer to the question raised by FT in United Kingdom. Still, I’d like to use this opportunity to make further clarification. China’s foreign exchange reserves are created thanks to the strenuous efforts made by the Chinese people. This has greatly increased China’s capacity to pay in external transactions and trading. At the same time, it has also demonstrated China’s economic strength.
但是，外汇储备资金实际上是银行的借贷，不是财政资金。外汇资金的使用主要还得用于对外投资和对外贸易。我们已经采取了外汇储备多元化的经营方针，从现在看，我们外汇总体上是安全的。
However, the holdings of foreign exchange are in the form of a kind of borrowing on the account of the banks and foreign exchange reserves are not money of the fiscal resources. The use of the foreign exchange reserves should be made mainly in external investment and international trade. We’ve already introduced a diversified strategy in managing our foreign exchange reserves as far as the current state is concerned, our holdings are generally safe.
我们将进一步扩大开放，利用两个市场和两种资源，充分发挥外汇储备的作用，使外汇储备既能做到“安全、流动和保值”，又能支持国家建设和改善人民生活。
We will further open up China to the rest of the world to make full use of both domestic and international markets and resources. We need to give full play to the role of foreign exchange reserves. So that the foreign exchange reserves we have will not only be following the principle of good value, safety and liquidity, but also support the national development and the improvement of people’s lives.
西藏的总体形势是安定的，西藏人民希望安居乐业。宪法和民族区域自治法保障了西藏人民的自由和权利，特别是宗教信仰自由。国家这些年也加大对西藏的财政投入，加快西藏经济建设的步伐，努力改善农牧民的生活。西藏将坚定不移地实行对外开放的方针，这是西藏自身发展的需要。你所提的问题，恰恰相反，西藏的安定和西藏的继续进步，说明我们政策的正确。谢谢。
The situation in Tibet is on the whole peaceful and stable. The Tibetan people hope to live in peace and stability. Both the Chinese constitution and law on the regional ethnic autonomy have provided for the freedoms and rights of people in Tibet, particularly their freedom of religious belief. Over the past few years, the State has also made efforts to increase fiscal input in Tibet, to accelerate the economic development in the region and improve the livelihood of the farmers and herdsmen in Tibet. Tibet will remain committed firmly to the policy of opening up, because this meets the needs of Tibet’s own development. Actually I believe that we need to put your question the other way around, that is the true fact. Tibet’s stability and Tibet’s continuing progress have proven the policies we’ve adopted are right. Thank you.
