【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 actually agravated the crisis． I expressed the very same view last year during discussions with many foreign visitors，including Mr Alan Greenspan，Mr Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers, who were on the cover of the February l5 issue of Time magazine. Time magazine termed them the Three Musketeers who prevented a worldwide financial meltdown. I discussed this question with all these three gentlemen and I believed they agreed with me on for me, by mentioning the article,.I do not intend to ask 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. 我說我們在人權(quán)的觀點上很多是一致的， 我在中學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)時就念了法國盧梭寫的《社會契約論》、《愛彌爾》、《懺悔錄》。人生而平等、天賦人權(quán)的觀念我早就知道。 我們接受了中國“五四”運動的影響，“五四”運動就是為民主、科學(xué)而斗爭，所以后來我們在共產(chǎn)黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下一直是進(jìn)行著反對專制獨裁，反對反動政權(quán)侵犯人權(quán)的斗爭，我們今天怎么可能反過來去壓制人權(quán)？而且只有我們才知道在中國如何才能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)保障人權(quán)。 當(dāng)然，我們在人權(quán)問題上并不是沒有缺點，也不可能沒有缺點。因為中國幾千年是封建社會，還有過半封建半殖民地的歷史，中華人民共和國成立只有50年，50年怎么可能把所有問題都解決？但是我們愿意聽取各方面的意見，特別是聽取我國人民群眾的意見。我們天天都在看人民來信，研究怎樣滿足他們的愿望，實現(xiàn)他們的要求。 我們也愿意聽取國際友人的意見，因此我們有很多對話的渠道。我們同美國、歐盟、澳大利亞都有人權(quán)方面的對話渠道。我們在人權(quán)方面的工作每天都有進(jìn)步。我見到很多國際友人，一見面，就掏出一單子來念，說那些都是被我們逮捕的人，要我們放了他們。中國有12億5000萬人，天天都有犯罪分子，天天都在抓人，我不知道你說的是誰，單子給我去查查好嗎？剛剛閉幕的九屆全國人大二次會議通過了憲法修正案，增加了依法治國、建設(shè)社會主義法治國家的內(nèi)容。我們?nèi)珖舜蟪Ｎ瘯诹⒎?，我們國?wù)院也在立法，國務(wù)院立的法叫行政法規(guī)。我們天天在努力健全我國的法制，保障中國人民的人權(quán)，我們會繼續(xù)做下去。我們歡迎外國朋友批評我們的工作，但你不要太急了，我比你還急嘛！你不要去支持那些民運分子，讓他們回來。中國沒有法治？沒有民主？不是你們想的那樣。I also said that actually we share many similarities in the viewpoint of human l was in middie school，I had already learned froin textbooks works by Rousseau of France，Emile，Confessions and The SociaI Contract，at all people are born equal and that human rights are endowed by heaven，I have actually learned of such concepts long ago. We were very much influenced by the May 4th Movement，which was a movement for democracy and under the leadership of the Communist Party of China，we struggled against dictatorship and also against human rights violations by the reactionary regime. So today how possibly could we just reverse our position and suppress human rights？ And only we know best how we can best preserve and protect human rights in China. But l cannot say that China is perfect in human rights and it is impossible for China to be perfect in this regard，because China has a history of several thousand years of feudal society and also dictatorship．China also experienced a semicolonial period and that resulted in a colonial mentality. It is only 50 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. How could we possibly resolve all problems accumulated through several thousand years of feudal rule within such a short period of 50 years？But we are willing to solicit views from all sides and our people. We are reading letters from our people everyday and we are doing our best to satisfy their needs． We are also willing to listen to the views and ments from friends also have al ot of channels for dialogue in human rights areas. For instance, we have diologue with the United States ,the European Union , Australia and so on.. Progress is being made every day on the issue of human rights. Sometimes when I have met with friends from abroad ,as soon as we see each other ,they would just take out a list and read the names on the list, saying these are people who have been arrested for the cause of socalled prodemocracy activities and would you release them？And then l would say in China we have i．25 billion people and everv day we have criminal ofenses mitted ,everyday we arrest some criminals，would you please give me the list so l can go back and look into that and to find out what is going on？ The just concluded sessions of congress adopted amendents to the Constitution including the adition to the Constition of rulng the country according to law and also building a socialist legal system. We are doing legislative work every day. The Standing Committee of the NationaI People’s Congress is doing legislative work every State Council is drawing up adnministrative rules and regulations everyday. So we are improving our legal system and leslative work every day，and we are doing our job to protect the human rights of the entire Chinese people every day. And we will continue to do so. Foreign friends are wele to criticize us in our job but do not be too impatient．Actually，I am more impatient than you are. Do not support those socalled prodemocracy activists．If these people were to return to China，then there would be no
