2015年在职硕士考试联考英语模拟练习(6)

　　China has refuted recent United States criticism about its exchange rate policy, restating its principles of independence and responsibility in handling the issue. "On this issue, China has always been independent and highly responsible, on which the international community has long agreed," said a spokesman from SAFE. Speculation that the exchange rate of the Chinese currency, known as RMB, would rise under foreign pressure reduced after US Treasury Secretary John Snow's visit to Beijing earlier this month. He came to press the Chinese Government to revalue the currency. But US Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans soon stepped up criticism, accusing the country of backsliding on the promises to ease restrictions on foreign companies, remove trade barriers and stop software piracy (盗版).

　　The SAFE spokesman reiterated that China will continue to maintain the basic stability of the renminbi's exchange rate, which he said has not only helped promote China's reform and opening-up and stimulate domestic demand, but contributed to the fight against the Asian financial crisis.
