Interest in imports from China is high. The Chinese consulate’s commercial section in Dubai reported a continual stream of visitors in the run-up to the exhibition from companies wanting to do business for the first time with China. More than 4,000 Chinese traders visited the emirates on government and private missions last year. As a result of this activity, China’s exports to the UAE have almost doubled from $279.5 million in 1990 to $522.7 million in 1992, according to Chinese government statistics. Dubai’s statistics show that China was the fifth largest supplier in 1990.
【正确答案】：大家对中国进口商品的兴趣很高。中国驻迪拜领事馆的商贸处报道说,在展会的准备期间,来访的商人源源不断,他们来自首次想跟中国做生意的商贸公司。去年,4000多名中国商人访问了阿拉伯各酋长国,其中有的是公派的,有的是私访的,根据中国政府的统计数字,此举使中国对阿联酋的出口额几乎了一番,由1990年的2.795亿美元增至1992年的5.227亿美元,迪拜的统计数字显示,中国在1990年是第五大供应国。
