【雙語學習】前三季度中國工業經濟穩定恢復

一轉眼，2020年只剩下最后兩個月，由于新冠疫情的反反復復，國內外市場和經濟發展都大受打擊。但好在下半年國內市場呈現平穩恢復態勢，相較于海外市場，中國各個行業的經濟都在復蘇。近日，國新辦舉行前三季度工業通信業發展情況新聞發布會，釋放積極信號。

中國最高行業監管機構和專家周四表示，中國有信心繼續保持目前強勁的工業增長勢頭，在生產復蘇和關鍵技術升級方面取得顯著進展。實際上，他們的信心來源于事實：中國的良好表現超過大多數其他國家經濟體，而工業產出是衡量工業活動的重要指標，中國工業在今年前三季度實現了正增長。

據工業和信息化部發言人黃立斌說，前三季度，我國規模以上工業增加值同比增長1.2%；電信業務總量同比大幅增長18.6%，工業經濟實現穩定恢復的良好態勢，信息通信業平穩發展。工業和信息化部著力推動制造強國和網絡強國建設，全力保持產業鏈供應鏈穩定，積極支持企業紓困發展。他解釋說，尤其是信息和通信技術部門在支持經濟復蘇方面發揮了關鍵作用。前九個月，該行業的生產指數增長10.1%，而電信業的總業務量同比大幅增長，增幅為18.6%。

工信部信息和電信發展司長聞庫周四表示，盡管新冠疫情給各個行業帶來了巨大挑戰，但中國今年還是如期完成了5G建設，甚至還要比計劃更提前一些完成。“截至9月，全國已累計建成69萬個5G基站，比預定時間提前，基本實現了地級市5G覆蓋”，截至周一，5G網絡終端已超過1.6億個。他還說：“在主要指標持續改善的情況下，5G有望在穩定投資、促進消費、拉動產業升級、培育未來經濟發展新動力等方面發揮更加明顯的作用。”。

業內人士指出，工業經濟的良好表現得益于中國在疫情期間為支撐經濟增長所做的努力。有了這樣的勢頭，中國很可能在未來幾個季度引領全球工業復蘇。此前，中國國家統計局數據顯示，中國GDP增速在上半年下滑1.6%后，前三季度實現同比增長0.7%，轉為正增長。中國國際經濟交流中心高級研究員王軍說：“工業指標顯示，中國生產方面的復蘇最為明顯，超出了市場預期”，“在生產方面的良好表現意味著隨著疫情在中國得到控制，之前疫情造成的生產限制也在逐漸消失”。

China is confident that it will continue its current robust industrial growth momentum, with notable improvements in production recovery and key technology upgrading, the country's top industry regulator and experts said on Thursday.

Their confidence came from the fact that the country has outperformed most global economies, with its industrial output, a key gauge of industrial activity, achieving positive growth in the first three quarters of this year.
According to Huang Libin, a spokesman for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country's industrial output rose by 1.2 percent on a yearly basis during the first three quarters of this year, reversing the decline of 1.3 percent seen in the first six months.
"Multiple factors are expected to help sustain the momentum (into the fourth quarter), including a more balanced resumption of production," Huang said at a news conference on Thursday.

The information and communications technology sector, in particular, has played a key role in supporting the economic recovery, he said. The sector's production index grew 10.1 percent on a yearly basis during the first nine months, while the total business volume of the telecom industry rose sharply by 18.6 percent year-on-year.
Wen Ku, head of the information and telecommunications development department at the ministry, said on Thursday that despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, China finished 5G construction ahead of schedule this year.
"As of September, the country had already built a total of 690,000 5G base stations, which was earlier than scheduled, and basically achieved 5G coverage in prefecture-level cities," he said, adding that more than 160 million terminals had been connected to the 5G network by Monday.
"With major indicators continuing to improve, 5G is expected to have a more apparent role in stabilizing investment, promoting consumption, driving industrial upgrading and cultivating new drivers of future economic development," he added.

Industry insiders pointed out that the good performance of the industrial economy was thanks to China's efforts to shore up economic growth amid the pandemic. With such momentum, China is likely to lead the global industrial recovery in the coming quarters.
It also comes after China's GDP growth turned positive in the first three quarters by hitting 0.7 percent year-on-year, after a 1.6 percent slide in the first half, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
"The industrial indicators showed that the recovery on the production side was the most obvious, which was beyond market expectations," said Wang Jun, a senior researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges.
"The sound performance on the production side means that the production constraints caused by the pandemic gradually disappeared, as COVID-19 was brought under control in the country," he said.
