金融风暴 financial
tsunami
中国人管金融危机叫“金融风暴”，这是有原因的。尤其是在广东等中国南方，被冠以“世界工厂”之名，现逐渐失去这一冠名。广东的经济凭借其与香港的口岸贸易优势，一直以来成为中国经济两位数增长的重要引擎。但是，今年上半年，由于产品加工的成本太高，外资纷纷关闭他们在这里的工厂
，将工厂迁至到越南、印尼、泰国等加工成本相对较低的国家。广东省统计局最新数字显示，2009年将有约5万家工厂面临倒闭。The
Chinese call the financial crisis "a financial tsunami". And with good reason.
Especially in Guangdong province in southern China, which are losing the title
as the world's factory. It was also this province, which lies on the border with
Hong Kong, that were largely the engine behind China's double-digit growth
rates. But earlier this year the foreign companies began to close their
factories. It is now too expensive to get the goods produced in China. Factories
began in great style to move to countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand,
where costs are much lower. New figures from the provincial statistics bureau
show that about 50,000 factories will close in Guangdong in 2009.
