10 years is a very important year. This is the tenth anniversary of China's accession to the WTO and the tenth anniversary of the great rise of the Eastern economy. At the events of the tenth anniversary of the WTO, Guan Sheng, the main leader in charge of the WTO negotiations and the director of the Foreign Trade Commission, made a speech to the whole country.

In his speech, Guan Sheng first affirmed the significance of joining the WTO. He said that joining the WTO is to give a larger market to the growing productivity in the country, and the rapid development of the country's economy for ten consecutive years has undoubtedly proved this well.

Of course, as the main leadership team of the WTO negotiations that year, Guan Sheng naturally mentioned the difficulties of the WTO negotiations that year. He said that Western developed countries led by the United States do not want them to join at all, and even proposed unreasonable terms such as "Western garbage must be imported every year". It is precisely because of these arrogant attitudes of Western developed countries that once put the negotiations into an unsolvable deadlock.

Guan Sheng briefly revealed some hidden stories about that year: "Everyone believes that our entry into the WTO was at the WTO ministerial meeting ten years ago today, but most people probably don't know that it was just a form. In fact, what really gave us the opportunity to get a chance to enter the WTO negotiations in New York was a Chinese Business Expo that year. It was this seemingly inconspicuous expo that really pushed us Chinese entrepreneurs to the world stage!"

Although it has been ten years since this Chinese Business Expo, Guan Sheng is still quite excited when he mentions this Expo, as if he has returned to that passionate era.

At that time, Guan Sheng, director of the Foreign Trade Commission, only made a brief speech at the China Business Expo, and then flew to Geneva to continue to negotiate on behalf of the country to join the WTO.

Therefore, Guan Sheng did not know what happened at the Expo later, did not know that Martin would openly rebel, nor did he know that Zhou Ming took advantage of the opportunity of disagreement between European and American families to push the Expo to a higher level.

In fact, for Guan Sheng at that time, he might have a little friendship with Zhou Ming, but for a person like him, he was definitely not very deep. Therefore, he did not want to provide a platform for this Chinese Business Expo. He thought it was more of a political task in his heart.

For this reason, Guan Sheng lost his temper after he arrived in Geneva, accusing Zhou Ming of being too good at abusing the country's care for him. He even held a small expo and asked him, the director of the Foreign Trade Commission, to stand up for him.

You should know that even if it is a negotiation for the country to join the WTO, the highest chief negotiator is also a deputy in the past few rounds. Is it more important than the negotiations for the country to join the WTO? However, the development of things later made him never imagined that things are really so important, and the expo that he had resisted from the bottom of his heart actually became the key to breaking the deadlock in the WTO.

"Leader, the conditions proposed by the WTO are still very strict. Not only did it refuse to give up in the past import tariff indicators and the opening of financial capital markets, but it even put forward more stringent requirements on importing foreign garbage and OEM export concessions."

As soon as he got off the plane and got on the bus, the office director of the negotiating delegation hurriedly reported to Guan Sheng all the things that happened during this period and handed him the documents.

Guan Sheng rubbed his temple helplessly. Every time he saw the conditions put forward by these Western representatives, he felt very absurd. These Westerners were simply gone.

Shame has been exerted to an extreme level. Can you imagine that he accuses you of environmental protection issues while asking you to import foreign garbage? This is what these Western representatives wrote on the exchange plan openly.

Whenever he saw these contents, Guan Sheng couldn't help but want to curse, but when he recalled that the country needed this opportunity to join the WTO, Guan Sheng said that he could endure his disgust and forced him to deal with them.

What else can you do if you don’t deal with it?

What else can be done? This is also the idea of ​​the representatives of these Western countries in the WTO. They just think that China has no choice but to be quarrel with them.

Could it be that the table is still lifted?

Not to mention that China is at a critical moment of reform and opening up, and does not want to have the ability to turn the tables, and from another perspective, representatives of these Western countries are even very happy to see China turn the tables, so that they can rely on the opportunity of blockade and sanctions on China and use the raising of the prices of certain commodities to continue to make a lot of money for themselves.

It is precisely because of this idea that these Western representatives are all very arrogant and are fearless no matter what they say or do.

"Mr. Guan Sheng, I hope you can understand that our WTO is an international institution established to increase multilateral trade around the world, not to help poverty alleviation."

"I'm sorry for you, China, I only remember porcelain and silk, and all industrial products, you need to introduce production lines from abroad. For such an agricultural country, I don't think it's necessary to join the WTO at all. Maybe you can go to the Red Cross to try your luck."

"If Mr. Guan Sheng really wants to join the WTO, I can suggest that you build a few factories first and then develop a few foreign trade partners. As long as you can make a few international trades, we can understand that the international community does have some needs for you, the WTO will open the door to you."

When Guan Sheng sat on the chair at the negotiating table again, he also heard the words said by these Western representatives. No matter how good Guan Sheng's qi cultivation skills were, he was still so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

However, Guan Sheng is no longer the age of being arrogant, so he adjusted his emotions very well, and then calmly introduced the current China, the business atmosphere of China and its importance to the world economy.

"Now, almost all well-known companies in the world have built factories in China and have joint ventures. The development of these companies in China can prove that China is on the fast track of the world economy and is also the locomotive of the world economy. Huaxia is the country with the fastest economic growth in the world. As a commercial organization, it is unreasonable to stubbornly exclude China. Only by letting China join is the best!"

Guan Sheng's argument in the end became a laughing stock for the other party to be very rude. He said that Guan Sheng could really cheat.

"I am bluntly speaking, the example given by Mr. Guan Sheng is simply unconvincing, because as far as I know, Bird Nest is a very famous food company in Switzerland, but he also has investments in a poor and war-torn country like Ethiopia, right?"

"So I don't deny that there will be companies going to China to invest in and build factories, and even help you get out of the backwardness, but that doesn't mean anything. Getting you to join the WTO doesn't mean anything."

“

You need to be recognized by more international companies, and you are still very far from this gaze. I'm afraid this will take five to ten years to achieve it."

Another round of negotiations ended in fruitlessness, and this time neither side even touched the hundreds of pages of tariff policies and intellectual property rights in the report.

After all, the negotiations on joining the WTO have been so many years, and everyone understands that these so-called terms are just a form. After all, these Westerners still believe that China is just a slightly larger countryside and does not have any demand for the developed Western capital industry. Therefore, rather than letting them come in to get benefits, it is better to block it first and get more benefits through blockade.

In this regard, one of the Western representatives said after the negotiations, which well illustrates their mentality at this time.

"What are the things that a group of female textile workers want to join the WTO? Is it just to reduce their fashion prices? Then I might as well sign a new square agreement with the Japanese so that he can further reduce tariffs."

"But to mention that these Chinese are really persistent. The negotiation has been discussed for several years, but this will not work. If they want to join the WTO, unless they can slap me in the face with many international companies, they will never want to join the WTO in the whole life!"

But many things cannot be set up randomly, and this time it is the same. Just as he finished speaking so arrogantly, news came from New York: China's Commodity Expo was grandly held in New York. By now, more than a hundred companies have established mutual trade relations. However, since there is no coordination between the WTO, these cooperations require third-party legal aid.

Such cooperation is too troublesome, so some companies called the WTO to ask why China is not a member of the WTO, and some wealthy families even asked if the WTO was going to hinder free trade.

In just one day, the WTO received dozens of calls about trade with China, which shocked the WTO negotiators. Didn’t expect that there were so many cooperative companies in China? Some of them are famous big shots in the world.

This confused them very much, and they didn't understand why these wealthy families suddenly changed their temperament.

But if there are only a few dozen, even if there are Spanish giants like Aragon, it will probably not affect the WTO in order to balance the rules of the Western world trade.

But the next day, the number of calls to the WTO suddenly increased wildly. The calls included not only old European giants like Juan and Mercedes, but also American giants like Rockefeller and Morgan.

Such a sudden increase in phone calls has made the WTO unable to withstand the pressure anymore.

So the WTO hurriedly contacted Guan Sheng and smiled and told him that the WTO was actually observing the trade process of the entire China and the whole world.

"Huaxia not only has a huge market with a population of 1.2 billion, but also has cooperation and contacts with many world companies. If such a country cannot join the WTO, then which other country is suitable?"

Not only the WTO officials who negotiated directly, but even the WTO Director-General personally found Guan Sheng and expressed his willingness to accept China as a member state.
