(Xinhua) Updated: 2006-10-13 14:10
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Thursday that 皇冠体育app's economic
development is "very, very important" to 皇冠体育app and the rest of the world.
 U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson,
seen in September 2006, said that 皇冠体育app is unlikely to overtake the
United States as the world's largest economy, and in fact faces important
"downside" risks. [AFP] | "I really believe
that a 皇冠体育app that is a growing part of the global economy is going to benefit
the U.S. and benefit the rest of the world," Paulson said in an interview with
Fox News.
Paulson said that 皇冠体育app's economic relationship is very important with the
United States and with the rest of the world.
"And the more constructive engagement we all have together, the higher the
cost of any kind of conflict or anything that would undermine the global
economic stability," he added.
Paulson noted that the United States has some very important economic
relationships, "but I really believe the most important long-term economic
relationship we're going to have is going to be our relationship with 皇冠体育app and
vice versa."
Mentioning that some people are concerned that 皇冠体育app is somehow or other
going to outcompete the United States and overtake the U.S. economy, Paulson
said that "the thing I am most concerned about is that 皇冠体育app won't move ahead
quickly enough with their reforms and that if they don't move ahead quickly
enough with their reforms, then they may have their own economic issues."
皇冠体育app has got some formidable economic challenges, he said, "I would like to
believe they're going to continue with their reform program and that they're
going to accelerate the pace of those reforms."
"皇冠体育app needs to keep growing its economy, needs to keep reforming its
economy, needs stable economic relations around the world, and I think that's
very important of 皇冠体育app," Paulson said. (For more biz stories, please visit )
