6年过去了，世界经济仍未彻底走出危机阴霾，实现强劲增长仍面临种种挑战。中国经济步入调整改革的新常态，欧洲经济进入企稳增长的新阶段。中欧相互依存不断加深，面临的共同挑战也更加突出。

Now, six years on, the world economy is yet to emerge from the crisis. It still faces daunting challenges for strong growth. While the Chinese economy is in a new normal of adjustment and reform, the European economy has turned the corner and entered a new phase of steady growth. As China and Europe become increasingly interdependent, we also face a growing number of common challenges.

"患难见真情"。正是在共同应对金融危机和全球性挑战的过程中，中欧之间产生了积极正面的"化学反应"。我们的沟通在增加，心灵在走近。越来越多的欧洲人更加关注中国，希望了解中国，愿意倾听中国。

A friend in need is a friend indeed. It is exactly in the course of jointly confronting the financial crisis and global challenges that good chemistry occurs between China and Europe. Increasing communication has brought us closer to each other. More and more Europeans have developed a keen interest in China. They want to know more about China. And they are ready to listen to China.

目前大家普遍关心中国的经济形势。国际上多数人怀着乐观的期待，主张客观看待并主动适应中国经济"新常态"，但也有人存在误读和偏见，担忧中国经济"硬着陆"，甚至"拖累"世界经济。

At the moment, how the Chinese economy is doing is a topic of great interest, and this is what I have to say to you. There are many around the world who are optimistic about the Chinese economy. They believe that the new normal in the Chinese economy should be viewed in an objective light and that other countries should readily get accustomed to it. But there are others who have misunderstanding and even bias about the Chinese economy, worrying that it might make a hard landing or even drag down the world economy.

事实究竟怎样，我想先告诉大家一个最新的数字。中国国家统计局4月初公布，2016年3月，中国制造业采购经理指数（PMI）回到50%的荣枯线以上。近期，中国固定资产投资回升，房地产市场回暖，经济开始出现"企稳回升"的趋势。

What is the real picture then? Let me share with you one latest figure released by China's National Bureau of Statistics early this month. China's PMI in the month of March rose above 50%, the departure point between expansion and contraction. And in recent months, investment in fixed assets has rebounded, the housing market has picked up, and the economy as a whole has regained its momentum of growth.
