China's enormous economic progress is due to the courage of its leaders and people who were not afraid to undertake bold reforms, even if they were costly in the short term. China is again at a crossroads. While headline growth numbers remain impressive, this disguises some serious obstacles that need to be overcome.

　　中國(guó)之所以取得了巨大的經(jīng)濟(jì)進(jìn)步，是因?yàn)橹袊?guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和人民有勇氣，不畏懼推行大刀闊斧的改革，即使這些改革在短期內(nèi)代價(jià)高昂�，F(xiàn)在，中國(guó)再次站在重要關(guān)口。盡管整體上經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)數(shù)據(jù)仍然十分樂(lè)觀，但其背后存在著一些有待克服的嚴(yán)重阻礙因素。

　　China's previous round of reforms transformed it into a manufacturing powerhouse. The next round of reforms must be aimed at increasing the role of the modern services sector.

　　This will not only unlock the substantial growth potential in that sector, but also boost employment, consumption and living standards. As with the previous reforms, removing barriers blocking development of the private sector will be key.

　　中國(guó)的上一輪改革使其變成一個(gè)制造業(yè)大國(guó)。下一輪改革必須以增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)代服務(wù)部門(mén)的作用為目標(biāo)。這不僅會(huì)釋放服務(wù)部門(mén)的巨大增長(zhǎng)潛力，而且會(huì)促進(jìn)就業(yè)和消費(fèi)增長(zhǎng)以及生活水平的提高。同過(guò)去的改革一樣，消除阻礙私人部門(mén)發(fā)展的障礙仍將是關(guān)鍵所在。

　　For example: China is currently among the top three countries in the world in filing patent applications—more than 435,000 of them in 2011 alone. It also ranks first worldwide in terms of creative exports—that is, export products based on exclusive trademark registrations in China.

　　The question is how to safeguard and nurture this success?

　　例如，中國(guó)目前是世界三大專(zhuān)利申請(qǐng)國(guó)之一，僅 2011 年就有 43.5 萬(wàn)項(xiàng)專(zhuān)利申請(qǐng)。而在創(chuàng)意出口方面(即在中國(guó)注冊(cè)的專(zhuān)有商標(biāo)的出口產(chǎn)品)，中國(guó)在世界排名第一。問(wèn)題是，如何保持和發(fā)揚(yáng)這種成功?
