第1篇 Passage 1
China has attained an annual average growth rate of 9.7% for its national economy since the inception of reform and opening-up policy. China has evolved into an extremely attractive and large market. Many farsighted businesspeople have paid attention to China and to the western regions and earned profits in return for investing in China. I believe that more opportunities will be created for foreign businesspeople to participate in the development of China's western regions with WTO accession and consequently, greater space will be created to their development. In the meantime, the economic potential of the western regions could be tapped to a deeper degree. The development of the western regions will surely as a bridge connecting businesspeople all over the world to the Chinese market.
第2篇 Passage 2
Continuous rapid economic growth in the west will generate more investment opportunities for foreigners in the area. The rapid development over the past 20 years has laid down certain material and technological foundations in the west. This, coupled with social stability and gradual shaping and improvement of a market economy, has created a favorable environment for the sustained and fast economic progress in the western regions. The Chinese government adheres to the guiding principles of development focusing on the expansion of domestic demand, combining the expansion of domestic demand with the work of economic restructuring, advancement of science and technology and promotion of opening to the outside world. As the Strategy of Developing the Western Regions is steadily pushed forward, the resources and economic advantages of the west will be brought into full play.
