【正文】 the coauthors of that article to share with me their rovalties for that article，because l didn’t apply patent for my viewpoint. What l want to say is that economlic development and financial liberalization must be acpanied by proper macro regulation and control． And different strategies of macro regulation and control should be adopted according to the specific conditions of different countries. To urge a country to liberalize or open its capital market too quickly or to request an overflow of capital in the country would only result in what we call“more haste，less speed” and would only undermine the economy of the country now Mr Zhou Yousi also asked the question about human rights，I believe this is also a question of interest to many of you present here today，so l will say a few womds about it. Actually，of the foreign guests received by Chinese leaders．few failed to mention the question of human seems that without mentioning the question of human rights thev would find it dillicult to justify themselves after going back. But after so many repetitions regarding this question of human rights，I am really very reluctant to talk about this any more here I just want to mention one thing，that at my meeting with US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright during her recent visit to China，I told her that l started my struggle for the protection and preservation of human rights much earlier than she did．She asked,“Really？” That shows she did not quite agree with me. And then I replied,“Isn’t that the case？” I said I was l0 years older than she iswhen l took part in the movement for democracy，freedom and human rights against the Kuomintang government at the cost of my life，she was still in middle school. 我說(shuō)我們?cè)谌藱?quán)的觀點(diǎn)上很多是一致的， 我在中學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)就念了法國(guó)盧梭寫(xiě)的《社會(huì)契約論》、《愛(ài)彌爾》、《懺悔錄》。剛才還提出了一個(gè)人權(quán)問(wèn)題。去年中國(guó)之所以能夠抵御亞洲金融危機(jī)的沖擊，就是因?yàn)槲覀冊(cè)?993年已經(jīng)發(fā)生了這種金融問(wèn)題，幸好我們?cè)谒€未擴(kuò)大的時(shí)候就把它制止住了。 對(duì)付亞洲金融危機(jī)有一個(gè)很大的截阻作用； 在中國(guó)內(nèi)部使金融市場(chǎng)穩(wěn)定，物價(jià)穩(wěn)定，社會(huì)穩(wěn)定。就是文化大革命。這樣，我也成了一個(gè)受害者。我最感動(dòng)的，是我在抗洪搶險(xiǎn)第一線看到我們的人民解放軍不顧一切地保衛(wèi)人民，甚至用身體保衛(wèi)堤防，我禁不住熱淚盈眶Over the past year，the Chinese Government has witnessed many severe tests and has also won extensive acclaim. My question is what was the most difficult task for you，what were you most dissatisfied with and what touched you the most over the past year? I think the past year was extremelv difflcult and the difficulties actually were greater than we anticipated. The first reason was that the effect of the Asian financial crisis was more serious than we had expected. And the second reason was that extremelv severe fIoodingwhich had been rarely seen in historyalso caused difficulties greater than we had expected. What l am satisfied with over the past year is that，under the leadership of the CentraI Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Jiang Zemin at its core and with the concerted efforts of the entire Chinese people，we have overe these difficuties and stood rocksolid．I think that this was indeed very difficult．That’s why in my report on the work of the government，I said the achievements really are very hard won. What l am dissatisfied with is that l have not done a good job. However，at the same time l also feel that some departments and localities have failed to implement to the letter the policies and measures formulated by the Central Commjttee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council. What touched me most over the past year was what l saw on the forefront of the fight against flooding. I saw People’s Liberation Army soldiers using their bodies to reinforce river embankments and to protect the lives and the safety of the people. When seeing that，I was almost moved to tears. 美國(guó)《時(shí)代》周刊記者：您再過(guò)幾天就將訪問(wèn)美國(guó)，但是考慮到現(xiàn)在華盛頓出現(xiàn)了一種很不好的反華的情緒，看來(lái)您的美國(guó)之行就好像您要踏入另一片“雷區(qū)”。九屆人大二次會(huì)議記者招待會(huì) 朱镕基總理回答記者提問(wèn)意大利《24小時(shí)太陽(yáng)報(bào)》記者：有人認(rèn)為，10年以后世界會(huì)有3種大貨幣，美元、歐元，另一個(gè)不知道是亞洲的日元還是人民幣？你覺(jué)得人民幣有這個(gè)可能性嗎？朱镕基答：人民幣能否成為世界貨幣，這個(gè)問(wèn)題不應(yīng)該由我來(lái)回答，而且現(xiàn)在還言之過(guò)早。但是，我也感覺(jué)到，有個(gè)別部門(mén)和地區(qū)沒(méi)有很好貫徹中央的方針政策。這篇文章的發(fā)表也反映了現(xiàn)在美國(guó)出現(xiàn)的那一股潮流，實(shí)際上是美國(guó)的內(nèi)部斗爭(zhēng)把中美關(guān)系作為犧牲品。我們不要忘記歷史，歷史上曾經(jīng)有過(guò)這種草木皆兵、人人自危的時(shí)期，在美國(guó)有過(guò)這種時(shí)期，在中國(guó)也有過(guò)這種時(shí)期。Since the exchange of visits between the state heads of China and the United States，the two countries have started to work on building a constructive strategic momentum of the growth of the SinoUS relationship has been quite good． However，due to various reasons which I do not see the need to mention here，has emerged an antiChina trend in the United States,which has caused concern from our side. I do not think that by paying a visit to the United States l will step into a minefield．But l do expect to encounter some hostile or unfiendly reactIons. In February 22 issue，Business Weekly carried an article titled China，what’s going wrong？This article is very special． According to that article, it seems as though China is about to encounter a big calamity or insolvency and a major disaster is looming close by. Actually before that l had never seen an acticle carried by US media describing China like that. I think the emergence of such an article reflects the emerging antiChjna trend and that the SinoUS relationship has been victimized by partisan politics in the United am also a victim, for on the cover of that magazine I was portrayed like a dead person. Under such circumstances，my visit to the US wiIl not be an easy job．According to the prediction of many media organizations，my forthing visit is unlikely to be successful. However，I will go anywav to lend them a chance to vent their anger or plaints. As I just mentioned now,I do not think my visit will lead me into a minefield ,only that l will encounter a negative atmosphere in the United States. By going to the United States l will trv to clarify the truth and also to resume the momentum of developing a constructive strategic partnership between China and the United States. Just now you asked me to clarify the truth about the allegation of China stealing US militarv secrets. Now I’d like to answer the question. To me some people in the United States have made two mistakes． One is that the they h
