Davos: Norsk Hydro CEO Worried About China’s Growing Pains
China’s exponential(指数级) growth over the last
decade is admired（仰慕） globally, but could eventually come with a price:
social unrest（社会动荡——装13用词，议论文必备！）.
According to the head of Europe’s largest aluminum producer（欧洲最大的铝生产商？） Norsk Hydro, China’s new and still growing middle class（中产阶级，议论文必备） is likely to get increasingly（最喜欢这样的句子了，用形容词的ly副词形容形容词，可是不会写） frustrated at the restrictions its ruling class（统治阶级） impose（vi. 利用；欺骗；施加影响vt. 强加；征税；以…欺骗）.
“My concern is the long-term situation in China,
when hundreds of millions of people（上百个上百万->翻译成成千上万就太弱了）
are middle class — can they accept
that the freedom they experience is not of the same degree as in
democratic nations in the West?(No,you are right.）”
says Svein Richard Brandtzaeg.
“This could increase the temperature of Chinese society,
although I’m not saying there will be a revolution.
But if the government continues to handle its population in the same way,
it’ll find that it is faced with a nation demanding democracy(民主).”
（YES,YES,YES...）
China is already struggling with inflation,
Mr. Brandtzaeg says,
with Norsk Hydro facing salary increases of 20% a year at its operations there,
（the salary ought to be increased!）
with the concept of these generous wage hikes(增加工资) backed by the government.
While keeping its huge population happy is clearly critical for the country, Mr. Brandtzaeg says that at least one other
negative consequence of Chinese growth is already being seen.
“Rising costs will influence the appetite for foreign direct investment into China and this investment could start to reverse the other way as a result,” he adds.（the other way? be it Chinese invest in foreign countries?）
--------
inflation,
wage hike,
technique revolution,
...and freedom.
