【双语学习】前三季度中国工业经济稳定恢复

一转眼，2020年只剩下最后两个月，由于新冠疫情的反反复复，国内外市场和经济发展都大受打击。但好在下半年国内市场呈现平稳恢复态势，相较于海外市场，中国各个行业的经济都在复苏。近日，国新办举行前三季度工业通信业发展情况新闻发布会，释放积极信号。

中国最高行业监管机构和专家周四表示，中国有信心继续保持目前强劲的工业增长势头，在生产复苏和关键技术升级方面取得显著进展。实际上，他们的信心来源于事实：中国的良好表现超过大多数其他国家经济体，而工业产出是衡量工业活动的重要指标，中国工业在今年前三季度实现了正增长。

据工业和信息化部发言人黄立斌说，前三季度，我国规模以上工业增加值同比增长1.2%；电信业务总量同比大幅增长18.6%，工业经济实现稳定恢复的良好态势，信息通信业平稳发展。工业和信息化部着力推动制造强国和网络强国建设，全力保持产业链供应链稳定，积极支持企业纾困发展。他解释说，尤其是信息和通信技术部门在支持经济复苏方面发挥了关键作用。前九个月，该行业的生产指数增长10.1%，而电信业的总业务量同比大幅增长，增幅为18.6%。

工信部信息和电信发展司长闻库周四表示，尽管新冠疫情给各个行业带来了巨大挑战，但中国今年还是如期完成了5G建设，甚至还要比计划更提前一些完成。“截至9月，全国已累计建成69万个5G基站，比预定时间提前，基本实现了地级市5G覆盖”，截至周一，5G网络终端已超过1.6亿个。他还说：“在主要指标持续改善的情况下，5G有望在稳定投资、促进消费、拉动产业升级、培育未来经济发展新动力等方面发挥更加明显的作用。”。

业内人士指出，工业经济的良好表现得益于中国在疫情期间为支撑经济增长所做的努力。有了这样的势头，中国很可能在未来几个季度引领全球工业复苏。此前，中国国家统计局数据显示，中国GDP增速在上半年下滑1.6%后，前三季度实现同比增长0.7%，转为正增长。中国国际经济交流中心高级研究员王军说：“工业指标显示，中国生产方面的复苏最为明显，超出了市场预期”，“在生产方面的良好表现意味着随着疫情在中国得到控制，之前疫情造成的生产限制也在逐渐消失”。

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.
