As you know, commodity trade takes up a large part in China's total foreign trade. Between January and August this year, China imported 220 million tons of crude oil, up by 10% over the previous year. Soy bean imports rose by 7%, and iron ore imports were over 600 million tons, more or less the same as last year. However, commodity prices have dropped significantly, with some plunging 40-50%. We have been affected as a result. There were less tariffs and hence the strains on China's public finance. But commodity prices are not something for us to decide. Total import volume has not declined, yet the value of imports has come down as a result of falling prices. Who should be held accountable for this? It is a topic that can be further discussed and debated. If international commodity prices rebound, we would get more import tariffs. This would mean more public money to spend on improving people's lives. There would be change in the PPI too, which is beneficial for improving corporate profitability and performance. This is an issue that requires joint efforts for a solution.

至于人民币的国际化，将由市场来选择，也要根据中国经济发展的实际来推进，它有一个过程，我们也会逐步推进人民币资本项下可兑换等措施。但有一点可以肯定，人民币持续贬值一定是不利于人民币国际化的，这不是我们的政策取向。中国愿意加入SDR，不仅是为了人民币逐渐实现国际化，也是尽一个发展中大国应尽的国际责任。中国不是世界经济风险之源，而是世界经济增长的动力之源。
