        Hi, Benny. Please take a look at the following paragraph:
邱晓华在中国民营经济发展分析会上说,目前中国经济存在一些投资失控和商品价格上涨较高的问题,但总体看既要防“通胀”更要防“紧缩”,要在两个方面采取措施消除可能带来的问题。
I don’t understand this part “但总体看既要防“通胀”更要防“紧缩””
Pleae tell me what does 既要 and 防 means in the sentence, as well as what does 通胀, 更要防 and 紧缩 means?
Also what does the whole sentence 但总体看既要防“通胀”更要防“紧缩” means?
Thanks a lot!
Lee Kong

 |  |  |  | Hi Lee Kong, 既要…更要 is a structure which means "not only…but also… “防” literally means “to defend/ defense”, here it means “stop…from” 紧缩 = deflation. It’s the simple version of “通货紧缩” Benny
