《环球邮报》赞扬中国取得巨大成就

[volunteer168]

加拿大最有影响的英文报纸《环球邮报》23日发行特别周末版，从多方面、多角度地介绍了中国在经济、社会、文化、教育等各个领域取得的伟大成就与进步。

新华社渥太华讯，该报在主题为《中国正在崛起》的周末版系列报道中发表了10多篇发自中国的通讯和特写。这些文章比较全面地介绍了中国的发展，特别是中国的经济发展。报纸编者按说，中国正在超计划地发展，“中国走向繁荣富强的长征”具有惊人的气势和重大历史意义。

一篇题为《迅猛向前发展》的文章说，在经历了长期的内战及外来占领后，中国又重新回到世界的先进行列。由于25年经济持续高增长，“一个新的中国正在努力成为一个强国，也许是最强之国”。中国人的生活发生了巨大变化，“今天的中国什么都要最好的、最时尚的、最漂亮的。”

另一篇题为《快速增长的背后》的报道说，中国经济的发展是世界史上最惊人的篇章之一。在过去20年中，中国的年均经济增长率达到10％，这是当今世界上最快的经济增长。

还有一篇文章介绍了越来越多的外国人开始学习中文，称中文将成为新的“必学语言”。作者认为，“不久以后，中文很可能超过英文，而被世界各地的人们选为他们的第二语言”。（胡光耀）

在加拿大眼里，中国也不过是一个急速发展的 workshop of the world 而已

the report is comprehensive and yet in details

I read through the entire release. every single story. The report is comprehensive, and to my surprise, some have gone much in detail. Besides the positive side of "Rise Of China", it also reported many problems that China has been facing along its growth. For example, one of them is the corrupted politic system. In its business section. it clearly mentioned that 55% of business in China had to bribe local government officials to get thing done, according to World Bank's survey 1998.

What World Bank and Canadian reporters did not know is the corrupted politic system was much worse that it has appeared. In China, as most people has awared of, the corruption has become systematic. I personally believed that the rest 45% who had not bribed, must had some sort of relationships with corrupted officials, or simply did not admit that they had bribed too. "guanxi" has been mentioned in the report several times. Funny erh? Even Canadian reporters heard and reported this shameful and unlawful word. From the context of the report, however, it seems that the reporter as well as the editor did not understand "guanxi". They simply treated it as a key to success in China, which actaully is a hit.

Over all, the report praised the success of the great transform of China. It encouraged Canadians to learn more about China, and urged Canadian business to jump onto the train of China's development. You can treat this report as a wake-up call for all Canadian business.

At last, I bet you the Chinese media will blow whistles, hard! they will, of course, only tell poor Chinese the positive part of the report; they will hide the negative part. I can bet with you about this. the media in China is not trustworthy at all. as a Chinese, I can not trust our own media....sigh....
