中国国家主席胡锦涛对奥地利进行国事访问后，星期四20个发达国家和新型经济体将在法国戛纳举行峰会。届时中国将受到压力，在欧洲投资多达一千亿美元，参加上个星期成立的欧洲救援基金。《中国日报》星期一的一则评论说，作为交换，欧洲应该承认中国是市场经济，提高其在国际贸易规则下的地位，并放宽对中国出口高科技产品的限制。
Chinese President Hu Jintao is in Austria for a state visit amid signs that Beijing will seek major concessions in exchange for investing in Europe's debt rescue fund.Mr. Hu arrived in Vienna late Sunday and held a first round of talks with his Austrian counterpart, Heinz Fischer, on Monday. China's official Xinhua agency said the Chinese leader would sign seven agreements on trade and other matters.
The visit comes ahead of a crucial meeting Thursday in Cannes, France, of the G-20 group of developed and emerging economic powers, where China will face pressure to invest as much as $100 billion in the European bailout fund established last week.A commentary Monday in the China Daily newspaper said that in exchange, Europe should recognize China as a market economy, improving its status under international trade rules, and loosen restrictions on high-tech exports to China.
