BRUSSELS – The most important economic-policy decision of 2013 might well have been taken in November at the Third Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee, which pledged that the market should be given a “decisive” role in guiding China’s economy. Because China is now the world’s largest exporter after the European Union, and accounts for about half of global growth, decisions taken in Beijing could have a more important impact on the world economy than those taken in Berlin, Brussels, or Washington, DC.
布鲁塞尔—2013年所做出的最重要经济政策决策大概要数11月中共十八大三中全会的决定了——市场应该在指导中国经济中起“决定性”作用。目前中国是世界上仅次于欧盟的最大出口国，贡献了大约一半的全球增长，因此北京的决策对世界经济的影响力是最大的，要超过柏林、布鲁塞尔和华盛顿。
