席卷全球的金融风暴,使得中国东部经济中心城市上海开始突破传统增长模式,寻求新的增长之道。上海在长达17年的时间里,一直以两位数的增长领先全国。1989年,上海的人均GDP还是5000多元人民币,到2008年,这一数字变成了73124元人民币,突破了“一万美元大关”。但是上海来不及分享这一数字的突破所带来的喜悦。今年上半年,上海以5.6%的增长,落后于全国7.1%的平均水平。 The financial turmoil sweeping the globe has caused Shanghai, an economic center in eastern China, to break through the traditional growth model and seek new ways of growth. For 17 years, Shanghai has led the country in double-digit growth. In 1989, Shanghai’s per capita GDP was still more than 5,000 yuan. By 2008, this figure had become 73,124 yuan, exceeding the “10,000-dollar mark.” But Shanghai too late to share the joy of a breakthrough in this figure. In the first half of this year, Shanghai grew at a 5.6% growth rate, lagging behind the national average of 7.1%.
