One third of Europeans and Americans see China's rapid economic growth to be an opportunity. One third of Europeans and Americans see China's rapid economic growth to be an opportunity, while nearly 60 percent remain wary of China's rising economic power, an opinion poll the German Marshall Fund, a transatlantic think tank , showed on Monday. China skeptics worrying about China's economy see its inexpensive goods export and their companies relocating to China as a threat, according to the poll which covered France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Britain and the United States. Of the six European countries covered, 70 percent of people in France and only slightly fewer in Poland, Italy and Slovakia expressed jitters over China's emerging economy. Traditionally free-trading Britain had more people who saw China as an opportunity than a threat, the survey found. With European manufacturing coming under pressure from Asia, the European Commission has imposed anti-dumping duties on a range of Chinese exports, including leather shoes. EU and Chinese negotiators are due to begin talks next month on a broad new bilateral agreement, including economic issues. And, US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is leading a high-level Washington delegation to China later this month. The poll also showed 52 percent of respondents favored globalization in general, up from 46 percent in 2005. Possibly behind that was a fall in dissatisfaction about the local economy -- 41 percent of Americans and 27 percent of Europeans were satisfied with their own economy, up from 30 and 20 percent respectively in 2005, the survey found. The poll heard the views of about 1,000 people in each of the seven countries between September 5 and 25. 點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (Agencies/chinadaily.com.cn)

本周一公布的一項民意調查顯示，三分之一的歐美人將中國經濟的迅速發展視為一種機遇，而近60%的人則對此保持著警惕。 這項由跨大西洋合作智囊機構"德國馬歇爾基金會"所做的調查共在法國、德國、意大利、波蘭、斯洛伐克、英國和美國等七國開展。調查表明，中國懷疑論者認為中國大量廉價商品的出口以及外國公司進駐中國是一種潛在威脅。 調查顯示，70%的法國人以及近70%的波蘭人、意大利人和斯洛伐克人對中國經濟的快速發展感到不安。 歷來倡導自由貿易的英國人大多認為中國的崛起對于全世界來說是機遇而不是威脅。 由于亞洲的商品出口對歐洲制造業造成壓力，所以歐盟對中國包括皮鞋在內的一系列出口商品征收了反傾銷稅。 歐盟和中國將于下月就一項最新全面雙邊協議進行磋商，其中涉及到一些經濟問題。美國財政部部長亨利·鮑爾森將于本月末率高層代表團訪問中國。 調查顯示，52%的調查對象對全球化表示支持，而去年這一數字為46%。 這可能源于人們對本國經濟狀況滿意度的提高。調查表明，41%的美國人和27%的歐洲人對本國的經濟狀況較為滿意，去年這一比例分別為30%和20%。 這項七國調查于今年的9月5日至25日進行，每國約有1000人參加。 （英語點津姍姍編輯）
