Story Highlights
·Beijing's leaders say they are willing to cooperate internationally
·Chinese Foreign Ministry: Financial system needs to be reformed effectively
·U.S. and major EU nations have dominated the IMF and the World Bank
·Voting shares of China, India, Brazil do not approach economic weight
BEIJING, China (AP) -- China will want a bigger say in any new global financial order emerging from the current economic crisis but will likely move cautiously in contributing to a proposed bailout fund for ailing countries, economists said.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called on China and oil-rich Persian Gulf states to fund a major increase to a bailout fund at the International Monetary Fund, the latest call for Beijing to use some of its $1.9 trillion of reserves.
Beijing's leaders have said they are willing to cooperate internationally but have said China's responsibility lies in keeping its economy going by boosting domestic demand.
China has already cut interest rates -- including by just over a quarter point Wednesday -- and economists predict it will take further measures to boost domestic consumption. However, weaker export demand from Western markets means China must remain cautious with its money. The majority of its foreign currency reserves are invested in U.S. Treasury securities, which is also lending support to the U.S. economy.
If China doles out money as part of any kind of international rescue fund, it should get more influence in bodies such at the International Monetary Fund, said Zuo Xiaolei, chief economist with China Galaxy Securities Company.
"They think China is rich by only looking at the $1.9 trillion foreign exchange reserves. But China also has to pay external debts and keep the stability of its own financial safety," she said.
"Let's assume, if China does give money to the IMF, of course China should ask for more rights," she said.
In a speech Tuesday in Moscow, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said developing countries should get a bigger voice in international financial institutions and the ability to set rules, though he did not specify which institutions. His comments come as the U.S. hopes China will play an important role in international financial talks at a summit in Washington next month.
"The right of emerging and developing countries to know what's going on, have a voice, and the right to set rules should be improved," he said, according to a transcript on the Foreign Ministry's Web site.
Wen called for the establishment of a new international financial order because of the financial crisis, and called for the establishment of a multi-currency international monetary system, saying other currencies should be promoted. He did not give details.
China's Finance Ministry did not respond to calls and a fax for comment Wednesday. The People's Bank of China referred calls to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who did not respond to calls. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Tuesday the financial system needs to be reformed effectively.
Brown said Tuesday that countries with the largest reserves should do the most, and argued that the IMF needs much more than its current $250 billion set aside to assist struggling countries. He did not specify how much more.
The IMF and its sister institution, the World Bank, were founded at the end of World War II and have been dominated by the United States, the largest shareholder, and the major European Union countries.
Earlier this year, members of the IMF gave final approval to an overhaul that triples the basic votes of developing countries in the 185-nation organization.
But the voting shares of China, India and Brazil do not approach the weight they carry in the global economy. China has one director on the IMF's 24-member executive board, but only 3.66 percent of the total voting rights even though it accounts for nearly 10 percent of the world's economy.

概要
·中国领导人表示他们愿意进行国际间合作
·中国外交部表示金融体系需要有效改革
·美国和主要欧盟国家控制着国际货币基金组织和世界银行
·中国、印度和巴西在经济上的投票权尚不具份量
经济学家分析称中国想要在当前经济危机催生出的任何全球金融新秩序中获得更大的发言权但在最近经提议为陷入困境的国家设立援助基金的问题上会谨慎行事。
英国首相布朗日前呼吁中国和因石油富有的海湾国家为国际货币基金组织提议的该项援助基金提供大笔增援，最新的呼吁是要求中国动用1.9万亿美元外汇储备的一部分。
中国领导人愿意进行国际间合作但表示中国的责任在于通过拉动内需维持本国经济增长。
中国周三宣布减息超过25个基点，而经济学家们预测中国还将继续采取措施刺激国内消费。然而西方市场引起的出口疲软使得中国必须看紧钱袋子。中国外汇储备的大部分投资于美国债券，这也算是给予美国经济的贷款支持。
中国银河证券公司首席经济学家左晓蕾认为如果中国能拿出钱来支持无论哪种国际援助基金的话，将在诸如国际货币基金组织这样的机构中获得更大的影响力。
“他们只看到中国1.9万亿美元的外汇储备，认为中国很富有。但中国也需要偿还外债以及维持自身金融安全保证稳定”。
“让我们假设一下如果中国真提供钱给国际货币基金组织，当然中国可以要求更多的权利”。
中国总理温家宝周二在莫斯科的一个演讲中说发展中国家应该在国际金融机构中得到更大的话语权以及参与制定规则，虽然他并未具体点明是什么机构。与此同时美国希望中国能够在下月华盛顿金融峰会的国际金融会谈中扮演重要的角色。
据中国外交部网站提供的文本温家宝表示要“提升新兴国家和发展中国家的知情权、话语权和规则制定权”。
温家宝呼吁要总结金融危机的教训，建立国际金融新秩序；呼吁加快推进多元化国际货币体系的建立，努力发挥多种货币的作用。但他并没有做详细说明。
周三中国财政部未对采访的电话和传真作出回应。中国人民银行致电外交部也未得到回应。外交部发言人姜瑜周二称金融体系需要有效改革。
布朗在周二表示拥有最大外汇储备的国家应该作出最大的贡献，并提出国际货币基金组织需要远超过目前预留出的2500亿美元的金钱来帮助在困境中挣扎的国家。但他未说明具体数目。
国际货币基金组织及其姊妹机构世界银行于第二次世界大战结束后成立。美国作为最大的股东，一直和主要欧盟国家对它们拥有实际控制权。
今年初国际货币基金组织董事会批准了增加185个成员国中发展中国家的基本票票数至原来的三倍的决议。
但是中国、印度和巴西的投票权尚不具备影响全球经济的实力。中国在国际货币基金组织执行委员会（24名董事组成）中有一位董事，但只占全部投票权中的3.66%，可实际上中国在世界经济中的比重已经接近10%。
