中国的贸易顺差可能会减少上述数字的一半（贸易顺差的减少也会蔓延到世界其他地区 ） ， 这意味着中国国民生产总值向国内需求的转移，以及净出口占中国国民生产总值5%到10%的改变。
China’s trade surplus might shrink by half of that amount (with cuts in trade surpluses also spread over other global regions), meaning a shift in Chinese GNP toward internal demand and away from net exports equal to between 5% and 10% of China’s GNP.
