“I was just in the neighbourhood; thought I'd say hi.” Tim Geithner's lightning visit to Beijing, via Mumbai and Hong Kong, is undeniably good news for the G2. It suggests the US and China are moving from confrontation to coordination, not least on the vexed issue of the renminbi – the ostensible focus of the US Treasury Secretary's talks yesterday with Chinese vice premier Wang Qishan. Even without Mr Geithner's urgings, though, there are signs that action on the currency is on the cards.
“我刚好在这附近;想顺道过来打声招呼。”美国财长蒂姆•盖特纳(Tim Geithner)途经孟买和香港,对北京进行了闪电式访问,这对美中二国集团(G2)来说无疑是个好消息。它似乎表明,美中两国正从对峙转向协作,尤其是在人民币这一棘手问题上。显然,人民币正是盖特纳昨日与manbetx3.0 副总理王岐山会谈的焦点。不过,即便没有盖特纳的敦促,也有迹象表明,manbetx3.0 已准备在汇率方面采取行动。
