美国对中国购买华尔道夫进行审查

The U.S. government is reviewing the Hilton company's planned sale of the famed Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City to a Chinese insurance company.

A spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations said Tuesday that last week's $1.95 billion sale to Anbang Insurance Group is being scrutinized. He said particular attention will be given to a planned major renovation included in the terms of the deal.

The Waldorf Astoria has been home to U.S. envoys to the U.N. for more than 50 years.

Every September, the U.S. State Department takes over two floors of the Waldorf to serve as headquarters for the horde of U.S. diplomats that come from Washington for the U.N. General Assembly.

The sale allows Hilton to run the hotel for the next 100 years.美国政府正在审查希尔顿公司计划将闻名遐迩的纽约华尔道夫酒店卖给一家中国保险公司的交易。

美国驻联合国使团的一名发言人库珀星期二说，上星期安邦保险集团耗资19亿5千万美元的交易正受到详细审查。特别是这笔交易中包含的全面整修计划。

纽约华尔道夫酒店50多年来一直是美国驻联合国大使的住处。

每年九月，国务院会包下华尔道夫酒店两层楼，作为从华盛顿去参加联合国大会的成群美国外交人员的总部。

这笔交易允许希尔顿在今后100年继续经营这家酒店。
