Faced with the gravest financial and economic crisis worldwide since the 1930’s, the Western industrial nations (including Russia) that previously dominated the world economy are no longer capable of coming up with an effective response. Moreover, hopes for mitigating or, indeed, overcoming the global economic crisis rest exclusively with the emerging economic powers, first and foremost China.
面对20世纪30年代以来全球最严重的金融和经济危机，以前主导世界经济的西方工业国家（包括俄罗斯），已不再能够拿出有效的对策。此外，减轻，或者更确切地说，走出全球经济危机的希望就全部落在新兴的经济强国肩上，首先而且主要是中国。
