Chapter 680: Claims (11)

Yao Yi said with a smile: "This matter is handled by Mr. White, of course I am relieved." ”

Yao Yi said beautiful words, in fact, Yao Yi felt that the key to whether the United States is imposing sanctions or not is the question of strength, and if he has the strength to give him ten dares, he will not dare, even if he is sanctioned, he will have to give losses, but if he does not have the strength and sanctions are sanctioned, look at the situation of Cuba, it will be clear.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Yi said: "However, I think that if we have economic and trade exchanges, we can use such a way. ”

Mr. White asked, "In what way?"

Yao Yi said: "The way of cooperation is still that China, as a sovereign country, will carry out economic and trade cooperation with you and the United States, as for which products should be liberalized and where tariffs should be maintained, there are negotiations between the two countries, don't you say?"

When Mr. White heard this, he thought to himself: "You are really cunning enough, I said, why did you so easily agree to the establishment of a strategic partnership between the two countries, and no longer consider the matter of US sanctions, just now I was worried that you will continue to seize the incident of US sanctions, it turns out that you have already laid an ambush and are here to ambush me." ”

Mr. White thought for a while and said, "Duke Yao, I also have a suggestion, I wonder if Duke Yao would like to hear it?"

Yao Yi smiled and said, "What suggestions?"

Mr. White said: "I know that China was one of the founding members of the GATT, and of course, now this right is in the hands of the national government of Yizhou, but since the Chinese government of the mainland has taken over the right to be a permanent member of the United Nations from the hands of the national government of Yizhou." At that time, we in the United States were very supportive of such an approach, but it is a pity that due to the poor relationship between the Chinese government and the Soviet Union, the Soviet government was strongly opposed, so this matter has been delayed until now, so what I mean, transfer the rights and interests of the founding countries of the GATT to the Chinese government now, what do you think?"

Speaking of the GATT, I need to introduce it in detail.

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was established in 1948 and is a global and permanent international organization of the United Nations. It is known as the "Economic United Nations".

In Yao Yi's previous life, on January 1, 1995, the WTO officially began operation, which is responsible for managing the world economic and trade order, and is headquartered on the shores of Lake Le'mont in Geneva, Switzerland. Its basic principle is to achieve the goal of world trade liberalization through the implementation of the principles of open markets, non-discrimination and fair trade. On 1 January 1996, the WTO formally replaced the GATT Provisional Institutions.

The WTO is an international organization with legal personality and has a higher authority in mediating disputes among its members. Its predecessor was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947. In contrast to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the WTO covers trade in goods, trade in services and trade in intellectual property rights, while the GATT only applies to trade in goods and goods.

Its basic functions are: to administer and implement the multilateral and plurilateral trade agreements that collectively constitute the WTO, to serve as a forum for multilateral trade negotiations, to seek solutions to trade disputes, to supervise the trade policies of its members and to cooperate with other international bodies concerned with the formulation of global economic policies.

The objective of the WTO is to establish a complete, more dynamic and permanent multilateral trading system. In contrast to the GATT, the scope of the WTO's jurisdiction includes areas such as intellectual property rights, investment measures and non-trade in goods (trade in services), which have long been outside the GATT, in addition to the traditional trade in goods and those defined in the Uruguay Round.

The five major functions of the WTO are: 1. Management Functions---- The WTO is responsible for supervising and managing the trade policies and regulations of its member countries, and regularly reviewing them to ensure their legality. 2. Organizational functions---- In order to achieve the established objectives of various agreements and agreements, the World Trade Organization has the right to organize the implementation of various trade agreements and agreements under its jurisdiction, and actively take various effective measures. 3. Coordination function---- WTO coordinates its relationship with international organizations and institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to ensure the consistency and cohesion of global economic decision-making. 4. Regulating functions---- When disputes and conflicts arise between member countries, the World Trade Organization is responsible for resolving them. 5. Provision of functions---- WTO provides its member countries with a negotiating forum for dealing with the relevant matters of various agreements and agreements, and provides necessary technical assistance to developing countries to help them develop.

The objectives of the WTO are: to raise living standards, to ensure full employment and to raise real income and effective demand substantially and steadily; Protect and preserve the environment and strengthen appropriate measures in a manner that meets the needs of members at different levels of economic development;

The basic principles of the WTO are as follows:

1. The principle of reciprocity, also known as the principle of reciprocity, is one of the most important principles of O, which refers to the preferential treatment given to each other by the two members in international trade. It clarifies the basic stance that members must take in tariff and trade negotiations and what kind of trade relationship must be established with each other.

2. Principle of transparency (TraO members shall publish the trade measures formulated and implemented and their changes, and shall not implement measures without publication, and shall also notify the WTO of these trade measures and their changes. In addition, international agreements affecting international trade policies to which members are parties should also be published and notified in a timely manner. It is an important principle of the WTO, and it is embodied in the main agreements and agreements of the WTO.

&arketAccess) is visible and growing, and it aims to require countries to open their markets in a planned, step-by-step, phased manner to achieve maximum trade liberalization. The main elements of the market access principles include tariff protection and concessions, the elimination of quantitative restrictions and the principle of transparency. The WTO advocated the eventual elimination of all trade barriers, both tariff and non-tariff barriers, and while tariff barriers remained a legitimate means of protection permitted by the World Trade Organization, tariff levels must be declining.

4. Promote the principle of fair competition: The World Trade Organization does not allow contracting parties to engage in unfair competition by unfair trade means, especially prohibits the export of commodities in the form of dumping and subsidies, and has made clear provisions on dumping and subsidies, and has formulated specific and detailed implementation measures, and the World Trade Organization advocates the use of fair trade means for fair competition.
