The latest analysis of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences shows that the introduction of foreign capital has produced a tremendous influence on Shanghai’s development and the livelihood of its citizens. It predicts that Shanghai will witness an upsurge in direct investment from the world’s major economic powers from 2002. The rapid development over the past few years has made many believe that Shanghai is a sound port for international capital.
Statistics of the People’s Bank of China Shanghai Branch showed that， by the end of 2001， the number of overseas financial institutions in Shanghai had reached 65， of which 54 were foreign banks. The total assets， savings deposits and loan balance of foreign banks in Shanghai account for more than half of the total of foreign banks in China. So far， 8 of the world’s top 50 banks have set up branches in Shanghai

篇二：
The economic restructuring is conducive to the development of the poor areas. At this time when there is an increasingly fierce competition in both domestic and foreign markets， China is devoting major efforts to adjusting and optimizing its industrial structure. The developed regions， on the one hand， have quickened the pace of upgrading their industries and energetically developing capital- and technology-intensive industries. On the other hand， in order to improve the competitiveness of their industries， they are transferring some labor- intensive industries to the less-developed areas.
The poor areas， mostly situated in the central and western parts of China， have relatively rich resources and cheap labor. It is fully possible for the western region to import capital and technology， and accept transferred industries， so as to improve the position of poor areas in the division of regional industries and quicken the change of local industrial structure and economic development.

经济结构调整①有助于贫困地区的发展。在国内外市场竞争日趋激烈的情况下，中国正在大力调整和优化②产业结构。发达地区一方面加快产业升级，大力发展资本技术密集型③产业。另一方面，为了提高产业竞争力，还将一些劳动密集型产业项目向不够发达地区转移。
中国的贫困地区大多地处中西部，资源相当丰富，劳动力成本低。西部地区完全有可能引进资本和技术，接受外来产业转移，提高贫困地区在区域产业分工中的地位，从而加快本地区的产业结构转换和经济发展。
