WTO accession negotiations are not an easy task.

Originally, in history, China worked hard for more than 10 years from the "resumption of GATT" to its "accession to the WTO." Until 2001, after China's accession to the WTO, there were even endless debates over the pros and cons of WTO accession for a long time, and the domestic newspapers were full of voices of "wolf coming."

However, there is also good news, that is, the top level of the country has always been positive about the resumption of customs relations and WTO accession.

WTO accession may have a serious impact on existing industries, but no matter how difficult it is, we must grit our teeth and persist in joining it, and this conviction has never wavered. WTO accession is a circle, and if you don't enter the WTO, there will be no way to talk about free trade, and the bigwigs can say at any time that they won't take you to play if they don't take you to play.

If you can't pull the bigwigs to play under a common framework, with China's current size, there is no sense of security at all. This is not 20 years later, China will become the largest trading country in goods, and the industrial chain of the whole world will be broken without China's industrial machinery. In 1992, China was still a small and transparent country, and there was no burden at all for the international market to discriminate against your industrial status.

However, joining the WTO is also not so easy, because both the GATT and the WTO are a stage for Western countries to build frameworks. If China wants to play well under other people's rules of the game, it is a process of cutting its feet to fit the table.

In order to be able to complete WTO accession through negotiations -- oh, now that China is one of the initiators of the WTO, it is not possible to describe the process of "accession to the WTO", or "creation".

The negotiations to open the WTO were a long process, and after many rounds of rounds, China finally ushered in the crucial Imperial Capital round. Placing this round of negotiations in the imperial capital is to focus on solving the problems faced by China's creation.

Hu Wenhai accompanied a certain "child" in Xiucheng to spend June 1st before leaving for the imperial capital, and with the start of the imperial capital round negotiations, the domestic discussion on creation also began to liven up.

Newspapers, magazines, television and radio, and all kinds of media channels seem to be everywhere about the reports and interpretations of creation.

"WTO accession will lead to a shock to the market, and this is the most high-profile view in public opinion at present. ”

"That's right, if you want to do business with people, how can you not let people come to you to do business?"

Surrounding the stone tables and benches in the hotel garden, Hu Wenhai sat with two men and women aged 27 or 8, reading newspapers with relish.

To do business, you have to abide by the rules, and with Trump's strength, of course you can not play like this. China is now seeking to enter the mature markets that others have developed, whether to go out and compete with the world, or to make some comfortable money at home, which is indeed testing humanity and the national self-confidence of the Chinese.

Unfortunately, in this era, I have to say that the Chinese really lack some self-confidence.

Hu Wenhai threw down a newspaper in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the hotel waiter, and led a polite-looking young man to walk towards him.

"Dingwei is here, this way!"

Hu Wenhai raised his hand and beckoned, and the person on the opposite side took two steps quickly, and sat down opposite him with a happy face.

"Let me introduce you, Lu Dingwei, assistant general manager of Wanxiang Group!"

These two are Xu Haiping and Lin Xia, assistants of the Economic and Trade Office, who are responsible for the docking work with the creation working group. ”

The three of them shook hands with each other, and Lin Xia also chuckled and quipped: "Mr. Lu's all-encompassing young marshal prince is not like us who are Wannian's assistants, I'm afraid it won't be long before we have to make a big career." ”

Lu Dingwei waved his hand again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Assistant Lin, don't be joking, the gold content of the assistant of the Economic and Trade Office is probably higher than that of the chairman of Wanxiang." If my assistant can change with you, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. ”

After the four of them greeted and livened up the atmosphere, Hu Wenhai simply took the topic into his own hands.

"Last year, Mr. Lu appeared on the cover of Time magazine, which is a great achievement!"

Hu Wenhai smiled and looked at Lu Dingwei: "Wanxiang is a big foreign exchange earner, so it should have some opinions on creation and international trade, right?"

"Of course, the creation of the world is a good thing, China must join the international trade system, so that enterprises can rest assured to open up the international market. ”

Lu Dingwei thought for a moment and added: "It's not that China and other countries can't do business without creation, but although some rules will restrict your freedom, they are also protecting you. If the current foreign trade model is a line, the two ends are point-to-point. Then after the creation of the world is a net, which leads to the whole body. ”

Hu Wenhai couldn't help but nod when he heard this, it seems that Wanxiang's understanding of creation is still very profound.

In the final analysis, the WTO guarantees each other the most-favored-nation status. Since 1980, the United States has granted China the most-favored-nation status every year. Since the WTO is only a most-favored-nation treatment for mutual guarantees, is there any difference between joining and not entering?

According to the Jacksonwanic Amendment, although China enjoys the most-favored-nation status of the United States, because it is a non-market economy country, this most-favored-nation status needs to be reviewed every year. In the 80s, immigration policy was mainly reviewed, but since the 90s, this review has become a means for the United States to interfere in China's internal affairs.

In the past, when the United States accused China of issues such as human rights, environmental protection, and arms trade, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could justifiably use the words "It's your business," "It's my business," and "Is there such a thing?"

But was our style the way it started out from the beginning?

Of course not, it is very difficult for China to be scolded before its accession to the WTO. The reason is also very simple: the review of MFN status between China and the United States includes such elements as ren's rights, environmental protection, and arms. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the MFN status may be gone next year......

It's like a private chat between China and the United States, where the bald eagle can scold the rabbit, and the rabbit will be blacklisted if he retaliates. The WTO, on the other hand, is a group, but it does not yet have a group leader. Even if the bald eagle blackens the rabbit, it can still be seen talking in the group.

As long as China is under the WTO framework, the United States cannot revoke the most-favored-nation status. Do you want to tear your face with China? Okay, bald eagle, you can leave the group by yourself. Trump didn't dare to leave the group, so he pulled a small group by himself, but as a result, the group was not active at all and no one spoke, so the group leader withdrew from the small group. It's a pity that there is no such thing in the sand sculpture news in 2018. Facts have proven the irreplaceability of the WTO, maintaining that there is no tearing face between the two great powers on this planet.

The only role of the WTO platform is to keep everyone on the same starting line. Otherwise, the United States will give you most-favored-nation status this year and not next year. Your industry has impacted my domestic economy, and I can unscrupulously sanction you with domestic law......

Then the game won't be playable.

Among WTO members, as long as you are under this framework, then MFN treatment must be given to all. Trade disputes between the two sides should also not be resolved by domestic law, but by WTO agreements and regulations – provided that everyone is a decent person.

Reflected in the specific operation, with such a framework escort, enterprises dare to open up the international market, invest capital to expand market share, expand production scale, and improve production level. Otherwise, even if Fuyao dominates China, do you still want to go out? When Saint-Gobain and Asahi Glass can't influence the direction of policy, do you really think that there is no such thing as political and business collusion abroad?

When you get the international order, you happily buy equipment, recruit manpower, and prepay for materials, ready to make a big profit in the international market next year. As a result, the host country canceled your MFN status, and the company cried as it looked at the sunk costs.

Wanxiang Group is one of the first enterprises in China to go global, and it is still very good. Lu Dingwei was familiar with the meaning of creation, and of course he was clear about the meaning of creation, and he even raised his limbs to express his support.

Xu Haiping, the assistant arranged by the Economic and Trade Office for Hu Wenhai, frowned slightly and shook his head slightly: "Mr. Lu has thought about it, the WTO agreement is equal to all member countries, and if you want to go out, you have to allow people to come in." If China opens its doors to the world's giants like this, I am afraid that a large number of domestic companies will die!"

"That's right, someone is going to die, and there will be no less. ”

Lu Dingwei nodded, with a serious face: "We Wanxiang are ready to compete with international giants, but we don't know if others are ready." ”

Xu Haiping sighed: "As far as I know, there are very few domestic companies that can grow to the level of competition with international giants. ”

Yes, when China joined the WTO in 2001, a number of domestic enterprises had already developed, and the preparations were certainly much more adequate than in 1995.

Although Hu Wenhai has made a golden finger, he is optimistic that when China joins the WTO in 1995 as a founding country, will its economic level reach the level six years later? From the end of the 80s to 1992, China's economic overheating has caused many problems. If the growth rate of more than 20 percent is to continue in the next three years, will the engine of China's car burst cylinders?

No matter what the future holds, at least Director Zhu is already thinking of ways to put the brakes on China's economy. Keeping M2 between five and six is safe. In the future, whether it is M1 over-issuance or M2 expansion ratio, it is a very dangerous operation.

"I have an idea. ”

Hu Wenhai knocked on the table and made a rare comment: "Japan is also a founding member of the WTO, but have you noticed? It is often not easy for companies from other countries to enter the Japanese market. This is because Japanese companies are highly competitive and have a higher level of technology, and others can't compete with them?"

"No, the Japanese have a special trick that they have taken another way to protect their domestic industry - standards. ”
