耶伦：美国投资审查机制不会损害中国
Treasury secretary says screening will be “highly targeted” after four-day visit to stabilise the turbulent relationship
美国财政部长在为期四天的访华期间表示，美国政府对对华投资的控制只会针对那些涉及国家安全的敏感行业。
US controls on investment into China would only target sensitive national security sectors, Janet Yellen has told her counterparts in Beijing during a four-day visit aimed at putting a “floor” under their turbulent relationship.Speaking at a news conference on the final day of her visit, which included meetings with Premier Li Qiang and her counterpart He Lifeng, the US Treasury secretary said she wanted to allay concerns about harm to China’s economy from the possible national security action.
珍妮特•耶伦(Janet Yellen)在为期四天的访问中在北京告诉中国同行，美国政府对对华投资的控制只会针对那些涉及国家安全的敏感行业。她的此行旨在为动荡的美中关系设定一个“底线”。
Throughout her visit Yellen has talked up the potential for ongoing trade and economic co-operation between the US and China, highlighting Washington’s desire to stabilise the relationship, even as it makes it harder for China to obtain American technology.
美国财政部长会晤了中国总理李强和分管经济金融政策的副总理何立峰。她在访问最后一天的记者会上发表讲话时表示，她希望减轻人们对于可能的国家安全行动对中国经济造成损害的担忧。
The Biden administration is now considering a mechanism to reduce the risk of US investment helping China’s military. “I emphasised that [investment screening] would be highly targeted and clearly directed narrowly at a few sectors where we have specific national security concerns,” Yellen said.
耶伦在访问期间始终盛赞美中持续开展经贸合作的潜力，强调华盛顿方面希望稳定两国关系，尽管它加大了中国获得美国技术的难度。
