1999年,中国人日常生活中谈论频率很高的一个词是“世界贸易组织”(WTO),人们期盼中国能够加入WTO,也关注着其发展进程。1999年11月30日,第三届WTO部长级会议终于在美国西雅图市开幕,可是,人们也看到这次西雅图会议并非一帆风顺,“内忧外患”交加,不仅成员方之间争斗不休,民间也发起了反对WTO的“狙击战”,最终导致这次会议无果而终。 In 1999, one of the most frequently spoken Chinese words in daily life was the “WTO.” People are looking forward to China’s accession to the WTO and its progress. On November 30, 1999, the Third WTO Ministerial Meeting was finally opened in the city of Seattle. However, people also noticed that the Seattle meeting was not a smooth sailing and the “internal and external problems” were overdone. Not only did the fighting continue between members, Launched a “sniper war” against the WTO, eventually leading to the meeting ended without any success.
