北京时间今天8点26分,中央广播电视总台中国国际电视台(CGTN)主播刘欣与美国福克斯商业频道(Fox Business Network)主播翠西·里根(Trish Regan)就中美摩擦等相关议题进行一场面对面、直击焦点的“跨洋对话”。
It is the first time that television hosts from China and the U.S. are facing off live. The much-anticipated event has sparked widespread attention from the media across the world.
这是中美主播首次在线展开正面交锋,引发全球媒体的热烈关注,备受期待。
在开场白中,刘欣表示:“非常感谢翠西,感谢你给我这次机会,从来没有想过能和你进行直接对话。”
翠西称自己不代表特朗普政府,而刘欣是中国共产党的代言人。
Regan, the host of a Fox Business Network program, said that she is not here to advocate for the Trump administration, and Liu Xin is part of the CPC.
刘欣纠正道,我自己还不是共产党员,我今天是以中国国际电视台记者的身份与你进行对话。
"I am not a member of the Communist Party of China. I am here to speak for myself, as a journalist working for CGTN," CGTN anchor Liu Xin said.
Trish Regan: What is your current assessment of where the trade talks are? Do you believe a deal is possible? Liu Xin: The talks were not very successful last time, and both sides are considering where to go next. The Chinese government is very clear.
Liu Xin: There is consensus among Chinese people that no country or individual can protect itself without intellectual property protection. Isolated cases do not mean that America is stealing or Chinese people are stealing.
Trish Regan: What do you think of "to heck with tariffs, let's get rid of them altogether"? What do you think? Liu Xin: When we talk about tariffs, it's not just between China and the U.S. If you don't like the rules, then let's change the rules, but it has to be done as a multilateral decision.
Liu Xin: We would like to define it as socialism with Chinese characteristics, where market forces are expected to play the dominating or deciding role in the allocation of resources.
We want it to be a market economy but there are some Chinese characteristics, for example, some State-owned enterprises which play an important but smaller role maybe in the economy.
We are a socialist economy with Chinese characteristics, but we are not just State controlled, we are quite mixed, very dynamic and very open as well.
Liu Xin: If you look at the overall size of the Chinese economy, don't forget we have 1.4 billion people. If you divide the second-largest economy in the world, when it comes down to per capita GDP we are less than one-sixth of the U.S.
We can do a lot of big things, and people are looking upon us to do a lot more around the world.
