Of course, the old economic model has been a resounding success, producing almost 10% annual growth for 30 years and lifting hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty. The changes are apparent not only in the statistics, but even more so in the faces of the people that one sees around the country.
今天，中国正在讨论一个“新的经济模式”。当然，旧的经济模式取得了巨大的成功，在过去30年中年均增长率为10%，数以亿计的中国人摆脱了贫困。这些变化不仅在统计数据上是明显的，而且即使在全国各地人们的脸上也更为如此。
