Vol 3 Chapter 269: Think tank

Fan Wubing's past few days in Beijing has been very fulfilling, or very busy. This chapter is provided by the net for online reading

On the one hand, the high-level officials in Beijing attaches great importance to him. The more talk about this kind of thing, it seems that it will be contagious. Even boss Zhu invited him over to have an in-depth discussion on some economic issues. Both parties have benefited a lot.

Fan Wubing’s advantage lies in the fact that he has a clear understanding of the various situations in the next ten years, and he has a clear view of economic trends and the international and domestic situations. Some of the information returned by Boss Zhu has given him a clear understanding of the domestic situation. Where is the reform process now stuck? What should I do to maximize the benefits without causing high-level dissatisfaction.

"The domestic economic situation is still well controlled, and the biggest problem is the pressure of the international situation." Boss Zhu said.

Fan Wubing nodded, knowing that Boss Zhu's remarks meant something.

For China's economic development, it must first formally integrate into the big family of the world economy. In other words, it must first join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and restore China's status as a signatory.

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is a multilateral international agreement on tariffs and trade rules concluded between governments. Its purpose is to eliminate differential treatment in international trade by reducing tariffs and other trade barriers, and to promote the liberalization of international trade in order to make full use of World resources, expanding the production and circulation of commodities.

In the 1930s and 1940s, world trade protectionism prevailed, and the mutual restriction of international trade was an important cause of the world economic depression. Therefore, after the end of the Second World War, in order to solve complex international economic problems, especially formulating international trade policies, became an important task faced by all countries after the war.

In order to build a trinity structure of "money-finance-trade" that governs the world economy, the Bretton Woods Conference was held in 1944, which envisaged the establishment of an international trade organization at the same time as the establishment of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The Havana Charter signed by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment in 1947 agreed to the establishment of the World Trade Organization, but due to the opposition of the United States, the World Trade Organization died out.

same year. The United States has drafted the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (gaTT) as a temporary contract to promote trade liberalization. As originally envisaged, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade will soon be replaced by a United Nations specialized agency called the International Trade Organization (International Trade Organization). However, this international trade organization has never been created, and in the past few decades, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade has achieved great success in advancing the liberalization of world trade.

China is also one of the founding members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and participated in the negotiation and signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. In 1950. The Taiwan authorities announced their withdrawal from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Due to international and domestic historical reasons at that time, the current government was unable to immediately participate in or maintain contact with GATT activities. To this day, China's status as a founding member of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade has not been restored.

And according to the generally recognized principles of international law. The change of government of a country should not affect the country’s international treaty obligations and enjoyment of international treaty rights. In other words, the Chinese government should enjoy all the rights of the contracting states.

"Americans are very troublesome." Boss Zhu is directly in charge of Sino-US negotiations. I think of the arrogant appearance of Americans at the negotiating table. Just a little upset.

Reform and Opening. The first is the opening of the market. But this is the situation now. Obviously, China's large six-region market is not entitled to the corresponding rights of the free market. In other words. Foreigners do not recognize China's market economy. Naturally, Chinese export companies cannot be treated fairly.

July 1986. China formally applied to restore China's status as a contracting party in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. February 1987. China formally submitted a memorandum on China's foreign trade system to the General Agreement Council. In March, the General Agreement Council decided to establish a working group on China. China has started a long road to retreat. Hu June 1988. China invites the parties to the General Agreement to negotiate tariff concessions. At the seventh meeting of the working group the following year. The State Party has completed its assessment of China’s foreign trade system. The fifth round of bilateral consultations on the resumption of customs between China and the United States was held in Beijing. Substantial progress was made in the consultations. The resumption negotiations are expected to end at the end of the year. December of the same year. The eighth meeting of the China Working Group of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was held in Geneva. In fact, the review of China's land foreign trade system has resumed. New Year's Day in 1990. The Taiwan authorities applied to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in the name of separate customs territories of Taiwan, Penghu, Jining, and Malaysia. Brings variables to the negotiation.

Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuyao with some emotion. "This month. The chairman of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade Council will be based on the understanding reached through negotiations between China and the major contracting parties. A statement on the handling of Taiwan’s accession to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Basically reflects the three principles of the Chinese government on handling Taiwan’s entry into customs. . And the market access memorandum between China and the United States may also be reached as soon as possible. The road to China’s entry into the Customs has finally seen a little light. It has been six years since the beginning."

Fan Wubing thought of the bumpy negotiation all the time. It will not be negotiated until 2001. Could not help but say something. "Six years is not enough. According to the American temperament. At least eight more years of talk will be fruitful."

Boss Zhu asked in a daze, "Is that true?"

Fan Wubing curled his lips and said, "It's very possible."

"Why is there such a judgment?" Boss Zhu frowned and asked.

It would be fine if someone else said it, but it came out of Fan Wuyi's mouth. I have to let him pay attention. Therefore, he seriously wanted to let Fan Wubing explain the reason.

Fan Wubing accidentally told the history, but he regretted it. But this is still a bit of a garden, so after thinking about it, he said, “Now Americans are about to be elected. According to my analysis, Democratic Bill Clinton will defeat George Bush and replace him in the White House. However, he is only forty-six years old. With his talents, it is vital to the recovery of the US economy. Therefore, it is not a problem if he is re-elected for two terms. The Sino-US economic relationship will be one of his hands. The most important hole card, so it won’t be too early to reveal the answer, but in his hands, it’s impossible not to end this issue. That’s why I concluded that this negotiation will take at least eight more years, that is, Clinton. The term of the second president will only end when it expires."

Boss Zhu listened to Fan Wu's inference, and he was a little speechless. He didn't expect that Fan Wu's would actually have such an association of calculations. Only from the US presidential election, China's entry negotiations can be calculated. The time limit is really amazing! Although this matter may not be reliable or accurate, Fan Wubing's calculation method undoubtedly provided him with a new reference direction.

Even when the Americans are not prepared, no matter how well the Chinese prepare, it is useless.

"You are not so optimistic about George Bush being re-elected?" Boss Zhu asked with some curiosity. In his opinion, many international experts can't figure out things. How can Fan Wuyao be so sure?

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "The United States has always been a consortium politics. Whoever can stimulate the virtuous development of the U.S. economy will have the opportunity to enter the White House. This is generally the case. Although George Bush seems to have built military industries overseas, he is fat. Those who have lost are only arms dealers and oil tycoons. This is far from enough. The rapid economic growth of the Americans is not brought about by military violence. Consortiums and voters who cannot taste the sweetness will not approve of such personal heroes. His resignation is doomed. So I can be sure that Bush will be defeated miserably in the election this time, so miserable that he himself cannot believe it!"

Boss Zhu smiled and said, “Anyway, it’s been more than a month since the US election. When you read the results, you’ll know if you’re right. But the analysis process is so unique, I hope I can invite you. Serving as a think tank."

Fan Wubing hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't mention this, I don't bother to use that brain! When encountering major events, I can help you analyze the situation. For general things, don't blame me for being lazy."

Fan Wubing's skill in saying this was neither disapproving nor expressing his agreement. It just vaguely showed that he could provide some reference for the central government's decision-making at an appropriate time, but he did not tie himself to death.

Boss Zhu is a smart man. Of course, it is impossible to think that Fan Wubing will lay down a lot of his own business to do free labor. He can have this answer ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ even if it is quite good.

As a matter of fact, it is not necessarily the experts in the political research office who serve as a think tank for the head of the central government. The role he can play for the current government leader who is determined to develop the economy, and a genius who can be called a genius in economics, is one of a kind. A lot of experts who can only talk about war on paper have compared them.

What's more, in the current situation of reform and opening up, there is basically no ready-made theory that can be used for reference. Experts who study theory all day, that is, when making government reports or providing theoretical basis, barely have any. With a little effect, they are actually quite confused about the direction of society. After all, not everyone is born again like Fan Wuyi.

At dinner, Fan Wubing invited Boss Zhu to have dinner with him at a popular restaurant in Beijing.

The dishes here are varied and reasonably priced. More importantly, Fan Wubing knew that boss Zhu paid more attention to people’s livelihood and did not like too arrogant occasions, so he chose this place deliberately, but two people chose a corner and started When drinking tea and waiting for dishes, there is a problem.

Fan Wuyao's eyes were round, and Ouyang Xiaowei, dressed in military uniform, came in with a group of men and women who also had military uniforms without military ranks.
