Some British scholars called it the Beijing Consensus, which is rather flattering. But we do believe that China has pursued a way of development that fits with its actual conditions.当前，国际金融危机尚未完全消褪，主权债务和失业问题仍困扰着许多国家，但中国率先走出了金融危机的阴影，去年实现了8.7%的经济增长，对世界经济的贡献率超过50%。今年第一季度，中国经济保持了强劲的增长势头，达到11.9%，创下国际金融危机爆发以来最快增速。China fared relatively well in the latest financial crisis. It achieved 8.7 percent growth last year, contributing over 50% to global economic growth. In the first quarter of this year, Chinas ec
