Syngenta

Minxin Pei, professor of government at Claremont McKenna College in California, raises a series of concerns. "People should ask whether such acquisitions are made with non-economic motives and whether China's acquirers have the capacity to manage these large, complex and innovative firms [ like Syngenta]."

美国加州克莱蒙特麦肯纳学院（Claremont McKenna College）政府学教授裴敏欣提出了一连串担忧：“人们应该问一问，这样的收购是否出于非经济动机？中国收购方有没有能力管理好这些大型、复杂和创新的企业（比如先正达）。”

Whenever I have met executives in the past year, at companies ranging from Rio Tinto to Levi Strauss to Syngenta, they have extolled the benefits of using digitisation to boost "productivity."

过去一年，从力拓（Rio Tinto）、李维斯（Levi Strauss）到先正达（Syngenta），每当我遇到企业高管，他们都会盛赞利用数字化提高“生产效率”的好处。

Higher incomes have led farmers to plant more and encouraged spending on yield-enhancing products, such as new-generation seeds with pest-resistant properties, made by Syngenta and some peers.

农民由于收入的增长而去种植更多的作物，并且被鼓励购买能够提高产量的产品，例如先正达及其竞争对手生产的可以防止害虫的新型种子。
