BEIJING – Measures in a $789 billion U.S. stimulus package that favor American goods are a "poison" that will hurt efforts solve the financial crisis, an editorial by China's official news agency said.
北京—中国官方社论称，美国7980亿美元所谓有利于美国商品的刺激经济计划议案中所包含的“购买美国货”的条款实际上是应对金融危机的“毒药”。


Provisions in the U.S. stimulus bill approved Friday favoring American steel, iron and manufactured goods for government projects are protectionist measures that could trigger trade disputes, said the editorial issued late Saturday by the Xinhua News Agency.
新华社社论评，周五通过的美国刺激法案中的条款有利于美国政府的钢铁制造业，这其实是一种保护主义政策，会引起贸易纠纷。

"History and economics have told us, facing a global financial crisis, trade protectionism is not a solution, but a poison to the solution," the editorial said.
历史和经济告诉我们，面对全球金融危机，贸易保护不是解决方法，而是应对金融危机的毒药。

U.S. labor groups that pushed hard for inclusion of the measures have argued that their main purpose is to ensure that U.S. Treasury dollars are used to the fullest extent to support domestic job creation.
美国工会组织大力支持这项措施，并说这项措施的的主要目的是确保美国国库资金可以用来大限度地支持创造国内就业机会。

China has promised to avoid "Buy China" protectionist measures in its own multibillion-dollar stimulus effort, and appealed to other governments to support free trade. Deputy Commerce Minister Jiang Zengwei said in early February that China would "treat domestic and foreign goods equally so long as we need them."
中国已经承诺在自己的数十亿美元的刺激计划中避免使用“购买中国货”这种保护主义措施，并且呼吁其他国家政府支持自由贸易。二月初商务部副部长姜增伟说，中国“只要需要，会平等对待本国及外国商品。”


Protectionism was a key concern of weekend meetings of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in Rome. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner assured G-7 finance ministers on Saturday that the stimulus package would not violate the United States' commitment to free trade.
周末在罗马举行的七国集团会议中，保护主义成为关键的讨论问题。美国财政部长盖特纳向七国集团财政部长保证上周六的刺激计划并不违反美国的自由贸易承诺。

Xinhua's editorial said protectionist measures taken during the Great Depression of the 1930s caused trade wars, hurting international trade.
新华社社论称美国在1930大萧条中，保护主义措施曾引发贸易战争，影响国际贸易。


President Barack Obama is expected to sign the economic stimulus package on Tuesday in Denver, Colorado.
美国总统奥巴马预计将在下周二在科罗拉多州丹佛市签署经济刺激方案。

The package, aimed at combating the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, was Obama's first major victory in Congress.
旨在解决自大萧条以来最严重的经济危机，此方案将是奥巴马在国会的第一次重大胜利。

Requirements known as "Buy American" were softened as the bill progressed through Congress and after strong criticism from abroad. Senate and House negotiators agreed to a version that would require the government not to violate trade agreements when implementing the law
国会经过激烈辩论，弱化了条款中关于“购买美国货”的规定。参议院和众议院代表一致认为在执行条款时不应该违反贸易协定。

我们应该采取对待措施！政府、国企、事业单位采购应以“购买国产货”为主，或曰优先考虑国产化。
我们不能打肿脸充大，默认美国转嫁危机，既然世界唯一的超级大国可以毫无顾忌地使用贸易保护主义，我们还有什么好羞涩的？

尤其是政府采购，优先采购国产化，乃世界通行之惯例，为什么我们总是遮遮掩掩不和“国际惯例接轨”？
