The Chinese industrialist poised to take control of Italian tyremaker Pirelli has attacked the US, saying he is missing out on investment opportunities in the country because his visa applications are routinely rejected.
已准备好收购意大利轮胎制造商倍耐力(Pirelli)的中国实业家对美国发出抨击，称他错过了许多在美国的投资机会，因为他的签证申请经常遭到拒绝。

Ren Jianxin, the chairman of state-owned ChemChina dubbed China’s “merger king”, has previously orchestrated half-a-dozen acquisitions in countries including France, Norway, Israel and Australia, but has yet to do a big deal in the US in part because of his inability to reliably obtain visas.
中国化工(ChemChina)总经理任建新有中国“并购王”之称，此前他已策划过6次海外收购，涉及法国、挪威、以色列和澳大利亚，但迄今尚未在美国有什么大的交易活动，部分原因在于他无法获得赴美签证。
“I was scheduled to attend a series of important business meetings in the US in January, February and March, but without a valid US visa I could not make them,” he said. “Inevitably this has left a bad impression on our potential [US] business partners who may think I am not serious about opportunities there.”
任建新说：“我原本预定1月、2月和3月去美国参加一系列重要的商务会议，但由于没有有效的美国签证，我无法成行。这肯定会给我们的（美国）潜在商业伙伴留下不好的印象，他们可能认为我不认真看待那儿的商机。”
Last year China and the US announced that they would issue 10-year visas to promote commerce and tourism between the two countries, but Mr Ren has yet to benefit from the programme. “I think it’s just a misunderstanding,” he said. “But without a US visa I have no other option but to travel to Europe and other parts of the world.”
去年中美宣布将签发10年期签证，以促进两国之间的商业和旅游活动，但任建新还没有从该计划中受益。他说：“我认为这只是个误会。但是没有美国签证，我别无选择，只能前往欧洲和世界其他地区。”
