中国加入WTO首席谈判代表龙永图早就说过,入世受冲击最大的不是企业而是政府,因为中国政府多年来以管制与审批为基本特征的管理模式,与“公开、公正、公平”的WTO精神背道而驰。现在,中国已经加入WTO,中国政府面临国际经济全球化的大挑战。这将促使我们的政府进行改革,包括管理观念、政府职能的配置、政府机构的设置、政府的运行方式。而这一改革,毫无疑问要沿着法治的道路前进。经受WTO考验的政府,只能是法治政府。 Long Yongtu, China’s chief negotiator for China’s accession to the WTO, said long ago that the biggest impact on China’s accession to the WTO is not business but government because the Chinese government has, over the years, mode of management characterized by regulatory and approval as opposed to “open, fair and equitable” WTO spirit runs counter to Now that China has joined the WTO, the Chinese government is facing a major challenge to the globalization of international economy. This will prompt our government to carry out reforms, including the concept of management, the allocation of government functions, the establishment of government agencies and the way the government operates. This reform, no doubt, must go along the path of the rule of law. The government subject to the WTO test can only be a government ruled by law.
