Many large US companies are increasing their bets on China's consumers in anticipation of a post-pandemic rebound and a promising long-term prospect for the world's second-biggest economy, the Wall Street Journal reported.
据《华尔街日报》报道，多家美国大型企业认为，疫情后中国经济复苏势头强劲，看好中国经济长期增长前景，纷纷加大对中国市场的布局。
McDonald's Corp and Starbucks Corp are opening hundreds of new restaurants; retailers Ralph Lauren Corp and Tapestry Inc, the owner of the Coach and Kate Spade brands, are launching new stores; and Tyson Foods Inc and Hormel Foods Corp are opening new facilities, the journal said.

"I remain more confident than ever that we are still only in the early chapters of our growth story in China," said Howard Schultz, Starbucks's interim chief executive and longtime leader, in early February. The company plans to open 3,000 new stores by 2025.
星巴克临时首席执行官霍华德·舒尔茨在2月初表示：“我比以往任何时候都更有信心，我们在中国的成长故事才刚开始。”该公司计划2025年之前在中国新开3000家门店。
In late January, McDonald's said it had opened 700 new stores in China last year and was planning to open an additional 900 this year—more than any other country and more than twice as many as it plans to open in the US.
1月下旬，麦当劳表示，去年在中国新开了700家门店，而且今年计划再开900家，这是该企业在美国本土计划新增门店数量的两倍以上。
For retailer Tapestry, about half of the $325 million set aside by the company for capital expenditures and cloud computing is going to new store openings and renovations in China. "We're confident in the long-term opportunities for China as a growth vehicle," CEO Joanne Crevoiserat said early February.
泰佩思琦集团计划将其3.25亿美元资本支出和云计算投资中的约一半用于扩大在华业务。集团首席执行官乔安妮·克雷沃伊斯拉特表示，“对在中国的长期发展机会充满信心”。

去年11月，包装肉类公司泰森食品表示，该公司预计6家新工厂将于今年上线，其中一半将位于中国。
Economists forecast a pickup in growth in China. In January, Goldman Sachs upgraded its growth forecast for the country this year to 5.5 percent from an earlier target of 5.2 percent. Key gauges of consumer activity in January showed significant improvement.
经济学家们预计中国经济增长将提速。上个月，美国高盛公司将其对2023年中国经济增长预期从此前的5.2%上调至5.5%。1月份消费者活动的关键指标也显示出显著改善。
