刚刚参加关贸总协定中国复关工作组第十八次会议归来的中国外经贸部部长助理龙永图,10月底在北京坦率说:目前,中国复关谈判的形势可以用一句话来形容:“万事俱备,只欠东风”,这个“东风”,就是太平洋彼岸那个世界主要贸易大国的政治诚意。 龙永图坦言:现在需要美国作出决断。是把中国列为发展中国家好呢,还是把中国列为发达国家好?是像大多数缔约方那样尽快使中国成为世界贸易组织的成员好呢,还是反过来硬卡住好?所谓“好”,就是指中国复关,是不是对整个世界贸易有利,是不是对美国经济的长远发展有利,是不是对中国的改 Long Yongtu, assistant minister of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, who had just returned from the 18th meeting of the GATT China Re-entry Working Group, said frankly in Beijing at the end of October: At present, the situation in China’s re-negotiation negotiations can be described in one sentence: “Everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed.” This “East Wind” is the political sincerity of the world’s major trading nations on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Long Yongtu frankly stated: Now the United States needs to make a decision. Is it okay to list China as a developing country, or do you classify China as a developed country? Is it as good as most parties to make China a member of the World Trade Organization as soon as possible, or is it stuck in the back? “It means that China is going to rehabilitate. Is it good for the world trade as a whole? Is it good for the long-term development of the U.S. economy? Is it correct for China?”
