Beijing is unhappy with the UK’s decision to sendformer Liberal Democrat minister Danny Alexander toits high-profile new development bank and hasplaced him in a job heading up communications.
英國派出了前財務部首席秘書、自由民主黨人丹尼騠虎煓大爵士(Sir Danny Alexander)到中國惹人註目標新開辟銀行事情。北京方面臨這一決議不太滿足，已讓丹尼爵士去賣力相同事情。
Sir Danny will have a vice-president role at the AsianInfrastructure Investment Bank, but China is notimpressed that George Osborne has chosen to send a “former politician”.
丹尼爵士將擔負亞洲基本舉措措施投資銀行(AIIB，簡稱：亞投行)副行長一職，但中國對喬治攠斯本(GeorgeOsborne)派出一位“前政客”來亞投行事情的決議不太滿足。
“The Chinese were not happy that the UK nominated a former politician without a track recordin international finance,” said one person familiar with the AIIB’s selection process.
“中國人對英國提名了一位沒有國際金融經驗的前政客覺得煩懣，”一位熟習亞投行挑選流程的知戀人士稱。
China takes a somewhat jaded view of Britain despatching former politicians to the east; ChrisPatten became a thorn in Beijing’s side as Hong Kong’s last governor after he lost his Bathseat at the 1992 election.
中國對英國吩咐消磨前政客來東方事情的做法有點膩煩。中方的“眼中釘”彭定康(Chris Patten)便是在1992年的推舉中丟掉巴斯選區的席位後被錄用為香港末任總督的。
Sir Danny, 43, lost his Inverness seat last year and is also seeking new employment. A move toBeijing would represent a big new opportunity but not one for which he is obviously qualified.
丹尼爵士現年43歲，客歲丟掉了在因弗尼斯(Inverness)選區的席位，今朝也在探求新事情。來北京事情是一個主要的新機會，但他說不上是顯著夠格獲得這個機會。
In its advertisement for the vice-president and corporate secretary post, the AIIB said the jobrequired a “minimum 20-25 years in a leadership function and position of influence inmultilateral development bank(s) or equivalent”.
在副行長兼董事會秘書這一職位的雇用告白中，亞投行稱該職位請求“在多邊開辟銀行重方法導層本能機能和崗亭上具有最少20年至25年的事情履歷，或一致配景”。
Sir Danny’s most recent experience was the five years he spent as Mr Osborne’s LiberalDemocrat deputy at the Treasury, where he was responsible for implementing the coalition’sausterity programme.
丹尼爵士比來一段事情閱歷是在奧斯本的財務部擔負了5年的首席秘書，賣力履行英國結合當局的壓縮籌劃。
Mr Osborne rated the Scot highly and feels sympathy for a former colleague — albeit fromanother party — who oversaw tough spending decisions and then lost his Highlands seat.
奧斯本對這個蘇格蘭人予以了高度評價，而且對這位賣力監視付出方面的艱苦決議、爾後落空蘇格蘭席位的前同事覺得憐憫——只管他來自另外一個政黨。
However, Mr Osborne’s nominee does not exactly meet the criteria set out in the job ad.Immediately before becoming an MP in 2005, Sir Danny was a press officer at the CairngormsNational Park.
但是，奧斯本提名的這小我其實不完整相符該職位雇用告白上列出的請求。丹尼爵士在2005年景為英國國集會員，他的上一份事情是在凱恩戈姆山國度公園(Cairngorms National Park)擔負消息談話人。
That experience and his previous stint as a press officer for the Lib Dems and the Britain inEurope pressure group could now come in useful.
那段閱歷及他以前在歐洲壓力集團為自由民主黨和英國擔負消息談話人的事情閱歷，現在可以派上用處。
According to the ad, the corporate secretary will “serve as a focal point of communication”between the AIIB’s shareholders, governors, directors and executives. The successfulcandidate would have “a capacity to deal with political-sensitive communication in acomplex environment”.
依據雇用告白的先容，董事會秘書將成為亞投行股東、行長、董事和高管之間“相同關鍵”。勝利入選的候選人需具有“在龐雜情況中處置政治敏感性相同事情的才能”。
At a briefing at the AIIB’s inaugural meeting in Beijing earlier this month, the bank’s newpresident Jin Liqun said vice presidents and other senior staff would be selected on the basis ofmerit not nationality. But China owes Mr Osborne a favour after he made Britain a foundingmember of the AIIB last year, ahead of other European countries and to the chagrin ofWashington.
在本月早些時刻於北京舉辦的亞投行開業後首場消息宣布會上，該行新行長金立群稱，副行長及其他高等官員將擇優、而非依據國籍選出。然則，在客歲奧斯本掉臂華盛頓方面的憤怒推進英國領先其他歐洲國度一步成為亞投行開創成員國後，中國欠奧斯本一小我情。
While Sir Danny’s duties are expected to include communications strategy, a German vice-president is expected to be given a more hefty role as de facto chief operating officer.
丹尼爵士的職責估計將包含相同計謀，而德國籍副行長估計將承當更主要的職責，成為究竟上的首席運營官。
Joachim von Amsberg, 51, has spent his career at the World Bank, joining as an economist andlater acquiring extensive experience in Asia.
51歲的約阿希姆馮阿姆斯貝格(Joachim von Amsberg)的全部職業平生都在天下銀行(World Bank)渡過，最開端參加時擔負經濟學家，厥後在亞洲積聚了豐碩的事情履歷。
Berlin, the biggest non-Asian contributor to the bank, seems to have secured a top post byproposing a well-qualified development banker.
作為亞投行最大的域外出資國，德國仿佛已因提名了一名完整夠格的開辟銀內行而搞定了一個最高層職位。
“Beijing at least saw Patten as a heavyweight within Tory ranks but do not see Alexander ascarrying much weight with the Cameron administration,” said Steve Tsang, a China expert atthe University of Nottingham.
“昔時北京方面最少以為彭定康在守舊黨內是一名重量級人物，但眼下它不以為亞歷山大在卡梅倫(Cameron)當局內有若幹份量，”諾丁漢大學(University of Nottingham)中國題目專家曾銳生(Steve Tsang)稱。
Sir Danny and the Treasury declined to comment.
丹尼爵士和英國財務部謝絕置評。
