GDP Is Not All About China

GDP isn't the most useful measurement for an economy's health. China wants to change this equation， rebalancing China's economy toward one based more around consumption than investment as well as one based more on services than manufacturing. But this isn't a change that will occur overnight， and China remains a place where its robust GDP masks major structural weaknesses in the economy.

GDP不是中国经济的全部

GDP对于经济的健康而言并不是最有效的衡量指标。中国希望调整经济结构，使之转向一种更多地依赖消费而不是投资，更多依赖服务业而非制造业的形态。但是这种变化不会在一夜之间发生，在中国这样一个国家，强劲的GDP数字仍然掩盖了经济中的结构性弱点。

Dilemma In Giving Gift

Giving gift has always been an important part in Chinese people’s life， but it is in conflict with the anti-corruption. This year， the Chinese government has been a wet blanket by strictly criticizing the immoderate gift-giving. The tradition of giving gifts has something to do with the severe competition for education， health care and employment among the large number of Chinese people. Giving-gift has been a hot online topic， and both the giver and receiver have expressed their ambivalence.

送礼难

送礼向来是中国人生活的重要组成部分，但其与反腐要求相冲突。今年，中国政府已成为“泼冷水者”，严厉批评毫无节制的送礼行为。送礼传统与中国众多人口争夺教育、医疗和就业岗位的激烈竞争不无关系。送礼已是热门网络话题，收礼者和送礼人都表达了矛盾心理。

Rich Chinese Tourists Won Reputation

Hordes of Chinese flock to the West End during national holiday for shopping that makes Saudis look frugal. The Chinese spend an average of £8，000 each on shopping in London alone， according to the survey. They might be incredibly rich， but unlike the Middle Easterns who block up Knightsbridge with their clamped Ferraris， the Chinese are quiet， discreet and polite. They often take their booty back on the Tube， and offer up their seats to more deserving travelers.

中国游客有钱也有“面”

十一黄金周期间，大批中国购物者到伦敦狂买名牌，相比之下连沙特阿拉伯顾客都显得很节俭。 调查显示，每位中国人平均在伦敦消费8000英镑。尽管中国顾客非常有钱，但与用法拉利拥堵市中心的中东人比，中国人安静、有礼貌，购物后常坐地铁回驻地，还会为人让座。

China’s Rise Needs U.S

As for China’s becoming the second largest economic body， the open international economic system designed by the United States contributed a lot. The Washington financial stalemate triggered China’s severe response. China hopes to see U.S fulfills its global obligations. If lacking the firm support from America， the multilateral order will further deteriorate. As the biggest benefited country， China will be the biggest loser if the global order malfunctioned.

中国崛起需要美国

就中国快速崛起为世界第二大经济体而言，美国设计的开放国际经济体系功不可没。华盛顿的财政对峙僵局引发中国作出严厉表态，中国希望美国履行其全球义务。缺乏美国的坚定支持，多边秩序将进一步陷入破损失修状态。作为自由秩序的最大受益方，中国将成为全球化寿终正寝的最大输家。

Lower Water Price Leads To Extravagance

The South-North Water Diversion Project， at a cost of more than $50 billion， can help China solve the serious problem of water shortage， but that is not enough. The government would do better to focus on demand， reducing consumption of water in order to make better use of limited supplies. Water is too cheap in most cities of China， usually costing a tenth of prices in Europe. Such mispricing results in extravagance.

低水价致浪费

斥资超500亿美元的南水北调工程能够解决一个严峻问题：水资源缺乏。要解决问题，中国需要的不仅仅是南水北调工程。政府最好能关注需求问题，减少水消耗以更好地利用有限的水源供给。中国大多数城市的水价都过于便宜，为欧洲的1/10。这种错误定价正导致浪费。

Tuhao in China

Earlier in October， a namele8b679d41f56dc38cbf2308a7c79294f4ss woman in Anhui province became the most famous Tuhao， who gave his son-in-law a Bentley car worth about 4 million yuan as the wedding gift. To this， there are both irony and admiration online. The Chinese hate Tuhao， but to hold a position in the more competitive society， having some connection with the Tuhao is quite an admirable shortcut.

“土豪”情结

10月初，安徽省一不知名女士成为最出名的“土豪”，她送给女婿一辆价值约400万元的宾利车作为结婚礼物。在网上，对这名年轻人有嘲笑者，也有羡慕者。中国人厌恶“土豪”，但在日益艰难的社会阶梯上，跟“土豪”拉关系仍是一种令人羡慕的捷径。
