“The strong increase in imports last year is attributed to buoyant economic activity as well as to the success of the Government’s trade and foreign investment policies. What did China’s foreign investment policies have to do with her strong increase in imports? (课文内容)
【正确答案】：Foreign capital has flowed into China mostly in the form of foreign direct investment. This type of investment requires foreign industrial investors to set up production facilities locally together with their Chinese partners or alone. For production efficiency and other reasons, as a rule they bring in technology and equipment from abroad to equip themselves. Thus it would result in a rise in imports.
【题目解析】：外国资本主要以外国直接投资的形式流入中国。这类投资要求外国工业投资者与中方合作伙伴或单独在当地建立生产设施。由于生产效率等原因，他们通常从国外引进技术和设备装备自己。因此，它将导致进口的增加。
