美国广播公司（ABC）昨日公布了其评选出的自2000年以来影响美国经济的十大人物名单，入选的除了现任美国财长盖特纳、前财长保尔森以及联邦储备局主席伯南克等美国人外，中国国务院总理温家宝也榜上有名。对于唯一一位入选的外国人，该公司表示温家宝总理正在为全球经济带来一股强劲的动力，同时指出中国对美国越来越重要，其经济增长未受全球金融危机影响，并已于近期取代德国成为世界第三大经济体。专家表示，温总理的入选进一步表明了中美关系的改善，同时也说明美国意图通过此举促使中国在货币和气候变化等问题上做出妥协。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 6Lj&rt

Chinese experts said yesterday the fact that Wen made the list was further proof of improved Sino-US ties. They said the US was acknowledging China's rise as an economic power, in part because it wanted to urge Beijing to compromise on issues, including currency and climate change.

"Apparently, China's rising economic strength prompted the ABC to vote for Wen," said Fan Ying, a professor of economics at the Beijing-based China Foreign Affairs University. "Wen collected the title on behalf of China."

Fan said China had influenced the US economy because of its massive exports and its significant purchases of Treasury bonds.

"Washington has never been in such a dire need of Chinese funds," she said.

"It wants Beijing to not massively cut the Treasury holding so the US has sufficient capital to continue doling out the ailing financial sector," Fan said.

He Maochun, director of the Research Center of Economy and Diplomacy at Tsinghua University, said Wen is widely believed to be the driving force behind the $586-billion stimulus package launched by Beijing a year ago, which has helped keep Chinese economy afloat during the global economic recession.
