新闻自由是一个相对的词。我认为,第一新闻应该不受限制;第二,新闻应该对社会负责;第三,新闻应该促进社会稳定与进步。这三个方面互为联系,同等重要,不可分割。片面强调某一方面会带来问题,因而是有害的。
Freedom of the press is a relative term. In my opinion, firstly, the press should be unrestrained; secondly, the press should be responsible to society; and thirdly, the press should promote social stability and progress. The three aspects are integrated, equally important and inseparable. It is harmful to one-sidely stress only one aspect, as this would cause some problems.
美国也曾经面临过这样的局面,最初极其崇尚自由主义,而对自由主义的强调不当造成了滥用新闻自由概念的结果。这是新闻理论发展的第一阶段。后来美国新闻业发现了闻,于是提出了负责任的新闻这个概念,或者叫作社会责任理论,新闻理论于是进入了第二个发展阶段。现在世界已进入一个和平与发展的后冷战时期。全世界人民都渴望有一个稳定的、进步与和平发展的社会环境。他们真诚地希望媒体在促进社会稳定和进步方面发挥更大的作用,不要引起社会动荡与退步。我认为,这个后冷战时期标志着新闻理论已进入第三个发展时期。我认为,目前中国的传播媒体正在努力实践我前面所讲的三点。
The United States once faced this situation. It had much esteem for Liberalism at the very beginning. However, its undue emphasis on this idea resulted in the excessive abuse of the freedom of the press. This was the first period of development of the press theory. Later on, the American press perceived their own problems and therefore, put forward the concept of the responsible press, or the theory of social responsibility, bringing the development of the press theory into the second period of development. Now the world has entered a pose-cold-war period of peace and development. People all over the world yearn for a social environment characterized by stability, progress and peaceful development. They earnestly hope the media will play an even greater role in promoting social stability and progress, instead of causing social turbulence and retrogression. This post-cold-war period, I believe, characterizes the emerging third period of development for the press theory. In my opinion, China’s media is striving to put the three aspects I mentioned earlier into practice.
西方媒体对中国的许多报道是不正确的,有时是非常不客观的,是非常不公正的。西方报纸很少报道中国的发展,它们感兴趣的不是中国的快速进步,而是存在的困难和问题。如果人们只依据这些报道,无视中国的现实,那么中国在他们脑海里便是一个很快就要垮台的社会。而事实恰恰相反,中国是一个政治上非常稳定的社会,是一个经济上快速发展的国家。
Many reports on China by the media of the West are not accurate, and sometimes very unobjective and very unfair. Reports on China’s development are rarely seen in Western newspapers. They show little concern for China’s rapid progress, but care only about the difficulties and problems. If one relied only on those reports and ignored the reality of China, the picture of China in one’s mind would be a society soon to collapse. But quite on the contrary, China in fact is a politically very stable society and economically rapid growing country.
我们经常报道政府工作中存在的问题。读者可以从中发现,我们对这些问题的报道完全不同于西方的报道。我们知道在发展过程中产生这些问题在所难免。我们报道的目的是让人民为解决这些问题献计献策,而不是激发社会的动荡不安,引起误解,甚至歪曲事实。新闻媒介只有这样进行报道,才会被视为对社会的负责。
We often report problems that exist in the government’s work. Readers may find that our reports on these problems are totally different from Western reports. We know these issues arose naturally in the process of our development. The purpose of our report is to let people offer solutions to these problems, not to stir up social turmoil and lead to misunderstandings and even to the distortion of what is really happening. Only by reporting in this way can a news medium be regarded as responsible to society.
Last night, when I was coming into town from Pudong Airport, I crossed the beautiful Huangpu River on the Lupu Bridge. This reminded me of China’s talent in making bridges and made me think of three other important bridges.
昨晚,我从浦东机场进城,通过卢浦大桥跨过了美丽的黄浦江。这让我想起了中国在修桥方面的天赋和另外三座重要的桥梁。
Bridge number one: 40 years ago, China started to build a “bridge to the world” by opening its economy and by kickstarting reforms that have changed the lives and prospects of hundreds of millions of people—here and and beyond China.
第一座桥梁:40年前,中国开始建造“通往世界的桥梁”。开放经济,启动改革。改变了数亿人的生活和前景,不仅仅是在中国。
By transforming itself—through trade, hard work, and learning from others—China has also helped to transform the global economy. Progress in this country has played a significant role in boosting productivity, innovation and living standards in countries around the world.
中国在通过贸易、勤奋努力和向他国学习来实现自我转变的同时,也帮助全球经济实现了转型。中国的发展对于提高世界各国的生产力、创新能力和生活水平发挥了重要作用。
Yes, there is always more work to be done. On these bridges, you don’t want traffic jams. There is room for even greater openness in China’s domestic market, which can help strengthen the global trade system. And there is scope for further reforms that can help unlock the full potential of many private-sector firms.
当然,总有可以进一步改进的空间。中国的国内市场还有更大的开放空间,这有助于加强全球贸易体系。另外,还有待进一步推进改革,促进释放众多私营企业的全部潜力。
Bridge number two: China is building a “bridge to prosperity” by rebalancing its economy towards consumption-led growth, rather than export- and investment-led growth.
第二座桥梁:中国正在建造“通往繁荣的桥梁”。促进经济的再平衡调整,实现消费带动、而非出口和投资驱动的经济增长,
Building that bridge is well underway. In the first three quarters of this year, consumption contributed 78 percent to China’s GDP growth, up from 50 percent only 5 years ago.
这座桥梁的建设正在进行之中。今年前三个季度,消费对中国GDP增长的贡献率达到78%,而5年前仅为50%。
This transition—which is symbolized by the China International Import Expo—is good for China, especially in terms of rising standards of living for the Chinese people, and good for the world, including all those who see China as a vital and vibrant market for their goods and services.
这一转变——以中国国际进口博览会为标志——对中国有利,特别是提高了中国人民的生活水平;同时,也对世界有利,包括所有将中国作为货物和服务重要和充满活力的市场的国家。
Again, we can see the progress and rebalancing in the numbers: for example, China’s current account surplus is projected to be less than 1 percent of GDP this year, compared with about 10 percent in 2007.
相关进展和再平衡进程同样体现在数字中:例如,中国的经常账户顺差预计今年不到GDP的1%,而2007年约为10%。
Bridge number three: China is building a “bridge to the future” by harnessing the power of international cooperation, especially on trade.
第三座桥梁:中国正在建造“通往未来的桥梁”。利用国际合作的力量,特别是贸易方面的国际合作。
On behalf of the IMF, I have called on all countries to de-escalate and resolve the current trade disputes and to fix the global trade system, not destroy it. To achieve these goals, we need more international cooperation, not less—and that goes well beyond economics.
代表国际货币基金组织,我已经呼吁所有国家缓和、化解当前的贸易争端,修复全球贸易体系,而不是破坏它。为实现这些目标,我们需要加强国际合作,而不是削弱国际合作——而这远远超出经济学的范畴。
The French philosopher Montesquieu once said that “wherever there is good citizenship, there is trade, and wherever there is trade, there is good citizenship.”
法国哲学家孟德斯鸠曾经说过,“有良好的公民精神,就有贸易;有贸易,就有良好的公民精神。”
In other words, trade has the capacity to boost innovation, foster not only prosperity but also peace within countries and among nations.
换句话说,贸易不仅能推动创新、促进繁荣,还能促进一国内部和各国之间的和平。
So, in Shanghai, the city of 12 bridges, I will only mention three, but this is where we need to start this cooperation towards more peace and more prosperous future.
所以,让我们携手合作,在拥有12座桥梁的上海和世界其它各地,为和平、为繁荣的未来建造这些桥梁。
Thank you.
谢谢各位。
