Passage 2
China's Economic Role in Asia
China's economic role in Asia is burgeoning. With 1.2 billion people and an economy growing more rapid than any other in the region. China's rising importance as a trader manufacturer and investor offers neighbors a fast-growth cushion against slowdowns in the West. In 1995, for Japanese businesses grappling with the strong Yen, China is especially attractive. Japan's domestic market is sagging, and yen-based costs are pricing its exports too high. China offers thriving market and a cheap production base. Nearly one of every 10 yen that Japanese companies invest this year will end up in China, by one estimate. But it isn't manufacturing that links China to Asia. China's huge appetite for everything from grain to top-of-the-line technologies helps, too. South Korea's auto industry and Japan's steel industry, both dragging, get a big lift from China.
And China's market could grow even more important, and not just to Asia. Although Sino-American trade surged to $40 billion last year from only $2 billion when Beijing begin its economic reforms in 1979, trade in some areas, notably services, is still generally closed. As it opens, other areas of market will expand. To be sure, China's trade expansion hasn't been smooth. This year,Beijing averted U. S. sanctions by settling a dispute over copy right and patent protection. But by the year 2010. According to OCED,Asia will account for one-third of global demand and China will almost certainly be the largest component.
China opened completely its commodity and service market.
A、正确
B、错误
【正确答案】：B
【名师解析】:根据题目内容，文章讨论了中国在亚洲经济中的日益增长的作用，包括其作为贸易伙伴、制造商和投资者的重要性。文章指出，中国的经济增长为亚洲邻国提供了一个快速增长的缓冲，以对抗西方的放缓。特别是对日本企业来说，由于日元强势，中国提供了一个繁荣的市场和低成本的生产基础。文章还提到，中国的市场对亚洲其他国家的工业，如韩国的汽车工业和日本的钢铁工业，也起到了提振作用。
然而，题目中提到的句子 "China opened completely its commodity and service market." 与文章内容不符。文章中并没有明确提到中国已经完全开放了其商品和服务市场，而是提到了中国市场的开放可能会进一步扩大，并且提到了中国与美国在服务贸易领域仍然存在一些封闭的情况。因此，选项B（错误）是正确的答案。
