2004年是中国加入世贸组织的第三年,同时也是美国的大选年。随着中国入世效应的进一步显现以及美国经济的持续增长,中美经贸关系保持了快速发展势头。然而,在双边经贸关系中还存在不少矛盾和冲突,经贸问题政治化等因素仍然在相当程度上制约着中美经贸关系的发展。 The year 2004 marks the third year of China’s accession to the WTO and the election year of the United States. With the further appearance of China’s accession to the WTO and the continuous growth of the U.S. economy, the Sino-U.S. Economic and trade relations have maintained a momentum of rapid development. However, there are still many contradictions and conflicts in bilateral economic and trade relations. The politicization of economic and trade issues and other factors still restrict the development of Sino-U.S. Economic and trade relations to a considerable degree.
