中国2009年律师服务年度度报告.pdfVIP

China 2009 By ALB | Thursday, 24 September 2009 As western markets went into freefall a year ago with company collapses and banks going bust, Asia – particularly China – was being viewed as the brightest light in an otherwise overcast economic sky. Top-line economic growth exceeded even the „conservative‟ 6% that was predicted by the World Bank. 因为随着公司崩溃和银行破产，西方市场在一年以前开始了自由下落，亚洲-尤 其是中国-被认为是不同于阴天的最光明的经济天空。头条新闻的经济增长甚至 超过了保守的6%的增长率，该增长率是世界银行的预测的。 It‟s not difficult to see why, with a host of local companies having the wherewithal, risk appetite and capital to strike overseas and domestic deals.
