>China to rebound despite US tightening
專家:中國經濟將在近期回升

The Chinese economy is expected to maintain its resilience and may rebound in the coming months with stronger policy support and better epidemic containment, bucking the negative impact of a tightening in US monetary policy, analysts said on Thursday.
分析人士5月5日表示，在更有力的政策支持和更有效的疫情防控之下，預計中國經濟將保持其韌性，并可能在未來幾個月內實現回升，抵御美國貨幣政策緊縮帶來的消極影響。

Huang Yiping, chairman of the academic committee of the China Finance 40 Forum, said the Fed's ongoing tightening could shrink global liquidity and pile on the pressure of capital outflows and currency depreciation for many developing economies.
中國金融四十人論壇學術委員會主席黃益平表示，美聯儲持續的緊縮政策可能會收縮全球資產流動性，并給許多發展中經濟體帶來資本外流和貨幣貶值的壓力。

For China, the country's vast domestic economy, relatively sound fundamentals, large foreign exchange reserves and a steady trade surplus provide a buffer against the spillover effects of US tightening, Huang said.
黃益平稱，對中國來說，中國龐大的國內經濟、相對穩健的基本面、龐大的外匯儲備和穩定的貿易順差為美國緊縮政策的溢出效應提供了緩沖。

Upon better containment of COVID-19 and proactive policy support, the Chinese economy is poised to stage a strong rebound after hitting a nadir in April, said Yin Yue, a macroeconomic analyst at Hongta Securities.
紅塔證券宏觀經濟分析師殷悅（音譯）表示，在疫情得到有效控制以及國內政策積極主動發力之下，中國經濟在4月份觸底后將迎來強勁回升。
