外媒：中国有望跨越“中等收入陷阱”
新华社北京4月9日电（记者于嘉）在经济进入新常态的大背景下，中国能否成功跨越“中等收入陷阱”进入高收入国家行列，是多方关注的热门话题。对此，外媒纷纷表示，中国将迎接“中等收入陷阱”挑战并实现跨越。

　　外媒大多认为，中国正处于从中等收入向高收入经济体发展的关键时期，面临跨越“中等收入陷阱”的挑战，而目前正在实施的“互联网＋”战略、供给侧改革和新近出台的“十三五”规划等举措将激发经济新引擎，并助力中国经济实现跨越。

　　正如一些外媒所指出的，跨越“中等收入陷阱”并非易事。德国《法兰克福汇报》刊文称，经过多年的快速增长，中国正面临“中等收入陷阱”的挑战。澳大利亚东亚论坛网站评论称，中国当前面临提高收入水平的挑战，加入高收入国家行列没有捷径可走。

　　尽管面临困难，中国直面问题并迎接挑战的努力和举措也得到了外媒的关注和赞誉。有舆论指出，中国完全有可能跨越“中等收入陷阱”。新加坡《海峡时报》引述经济学家林毅夫的分析说，作为发展中国家，中国韧性强、潜力足、回旋余地大、可用政策空间多，完全有可能维持6.5%以上的经济增速并成为一个高收入国家。香港《南华早报》网站援引瑞银中国首席经济学家汪涛的话说，即便年增速只有4%，中国仍可在十年内成为高收入国家并完全避开“中等收入陷阱”。

　　有外媒认为，一系列相关政策的出台和实施将激发新的增长引擎。美国《外交政策》双月刊网站说，中国最新的五年规划将对经济进行再平衡，构筑一条通往持久增加国民财富的道路。中国倡导“互联网＋”的举措着眼于以电子商务和在线服务为基础，正在打造充满活力的数字经济。另外，“十三五”规划寄希望于服务业大量创造就业岗位并吸纳新增就业人员。

　　新加坡国立大学东亚研究所所长郑永年在《联合早报》上撰文说，中国希望通过供给侧改革规避“中等收入陷阱”，并推动国家进入高收入社会。

　　德国《世界报》网站报道说，为避免陷入“中等收入陷阱”，中国正努力通过新引擎带动经济发展，未来中国经济将在消费、服务业、高科技和创新的推动下发展。报道还提到，中国继续致力于开展大型基础设施建设以刺激经济和就业，通过减税促进更多创新企业、服务商和新兴企业的发展，并加大对科研开发的投入。

　　外媒建议中国通过建章立制、完善市场、提高创新能力和生产率等举措，实现跨越“中等收入陷阱”的目标。《南华早报》网站指出，能否避开“中等收入陷阱”，关键要看经济体在创新以及提高生产率和效率方面的能力。

　　《联合早报》网站的文章分析称，要实现长期可持续增长，中央政策环境是关键。文章指出，亚洲那些成功跨越“中等收入陷阱”的经济体，在经济发展的每一个环节都能提供有效的中央政策环境。
