B: Let me see, about five years. We established our business relationship with Huamei of China Import & Export Corporation in 2003.

　　A: Do you have any difficulties in doing business in China? You know the Chinese economic legislation is still incomplete?

　　B: I don't think I have any problem with our Chinese partners. They've always followed the contract strictly. We can do business directly with the corporation. As I mentioned before, the Chinese government is trying very hard to perfect its law. Its commercial legislation provides legal protection for foreign companies.

　　A: Well, it's known that the Sino-American relation is in a dilemma. Does it influence your business in China?

　　B: Actually not at present. But we are afraid it will. You know policies influence business to some extent. I hope our government will not be influenced by some extremists. China is really a large market. We don't want to lose it.

　　A: Thank you.

　　B: You're welcome.

　　A: 你与中国的生意做了多久？

　　B: 让我想想，大约五年吧。我们是在2003年与中国华美进出口公司建立贸易关系的。

　　A: 在中国做生意有困难吗？你知道中国经济法规依然是不完整的？

　　B: 我认为和我们的中方伙伴在生意上没有困难。他们严格按照合同办事。我们可以与公司直接做生意。正如前边所说，中国政府正努力完善法律法规。商法为外国公司提供了法律保护。

　　A: 嗯，众所周知，中美两国的关系处于进退两难中。这影响你在中国的生意了吗？

　　B: 目前还没有。不过挺担心的。你知道在某种程度上，政策影响着贸易。我希望政府不受那些极端分子的影响。中国是个大市场，我们不想丢掉它。

　　A: 谢谢。

　　B: 不客气。
