中国一汽与16家银行签署了战略性合作协议，获意向性授信总计10150亿元。请看本报周五的报道：

China’s major automaker FAW Group said it signed a deal with 16 banks for a credit line worth more than 1 trillion yuan (US$144 billion), but did not give specific reasons as to why it wanted to secure access to such a large amount of funding.

FAW said Thursday in a posting on its social media account it wanted to consolidate its cooperation with banks, create an open and innovative financial platform and to secure funds for FAW initiatives in the future.

报道中的credit line就是“授信额度”，指客户和金融机构（通常是银行）之间的协议，规定了客户在满足一定条件下可以申请的最大贷款额度。
