40,000 Seoul Workers Against G20 Took to the Streets
4萬首爾勞工上街反對G20
The G20 summit was held in South Korea this time. However, the South
Korean government is having trouble appeasing the parading people and preventing agitation by North Korea. Over ten thousand South Korean workers decided to go on strike the night before the summit, protesting that the G20 did not have effective measures to protect laborers and solve the problems of unemployment. The meeting this time will discuss exchange rates and trade imbalances, as well as International Monetary Fund (IMF) reform, the establishment of a global financial safety net, and financial regulatory reform. However, the US' recent “quantitative easing” policy may also become a focus of the agenda.


　　G20高峰會這次在南韓舉行。不過，現在南韓政府正為了安撫遊行民眾與預防北韓的挑釁而感到頭痛不已。有上萬名南韓勞工在該會議前夕，抗議G20未能採取有效措施，保障勞工及解決失業問題。這次會議預計將討論匯率與經貿失衡，以及國際貨幣基金改革、全球金融安全網的設立、金融監管改革等。但是美國最近的「量化寬鬆」政策也可能成為會議議程的焦點。
