如何理解扩大内需是长期的方针 记者:我国已正式加入了WTO,如何理解扩大内需是一项长期的战略方针? 刘国光:需要强调的是,扩大内需不是一二年、三四年的事情,也不是第十个五年计划的事情,而是一个长期的方针。 为什么呢?这首先是由我国的国情决定的。作为一个拥有13亿人口的大国,我们的贸易依存度不能太高。坚持以内需为主意味着一国的需求结构偏重于内需,并要有一个适当的外贸依存度。 How to Understand Expanding Domestic Demand Is a Long-term Policy Reporter: China has officially joined the WTO. How to understand that expanding domestic demand is a long-term strategic guideline? Liu Guoguang: What needs to be emphasized is that expanding domestic demand is not a year or two or three or four years. Nor is it the tenth five-year plan, but a long-term one. Why? This is first decided by our country’s national conditions. As a big country with 1.3 billion people, our trade dependence can not be too high. Adhering to the principle of domestic demand means that the structure of demand in a country is more dependent on domestic demand and that there should be an appropriate degree of dependence on foreign trade.
