On trade talks
谈及中美贸易谈判：
中国政府已明确表明立场

Trish Regan: What is your current assessment of where the trade talks are. Do you believe a deal is possible?

Liu Xin: The talks were not very successful last time, and both sides are considering where to go next. The Chinese government is very clear. There is high possibility of a trade deal only if the United States treats the Chinese government and negotiating team with respect and shows the willingness to talk without using outside pressure.
Otherwise, we might be facing a prolonged period of problems for both sides.

翠西就贸易谈判发问，她问刘欣中美之间是否有可能达成协议。刘欣说，如果美方带有诚意，尊重中方谈判代表，相信会有一个好的结果，因为贸易战对中美双方都不利。


On capitalism
关于中国特色市场经济：
我们的经济制度多元开放

Trish Regan: How do you define state capitalism?

Liu Xin: We would like to define it as socialism with Chinese characteristics, where market forces are expected to play the dominating or deciding role in the allocation of resources. We want it to be a market economy but there are some Chinese characteristics, for example, some state-owned enterprises which play an important but smaller role maybe in the economy. If you look at the statistics, 80 percent of Chinese employees work at private enterprises, 80 percent of exports are by private companies.
翠西发问刘欣你如何定义“国家资本主义”，刘欣解释道，中国是中国特色市场经济，让市场在经济中发挥主导作用。国有企业在经济中有重要作用，但作用正在不断减少，国家并没有控制经济的一切。来看一组数据：中国80%的就业是由民营企业提供的，中国80%的出口是由民营企业提供的。
