中美两国正式签署关于中国加入世界贸易组织（ＷＴＯ）的双边协议之前约７个月 ,即１９９９年４月１０日朱基总理访美期间 ,中美两国签署了《中美农业合作协议》。在农业这个中美争议最大的领域里能够达成协议 ,成为两国最终能够签署中国加入ＷＴＯ双边协议的最重要的基础。 About 7 months before China and the United States officially signed the bilateral agreement on China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), during the visit by Premier Zhu Rongji to the United States on April 10, 1999, China and the United States signed the “Sino-U.S. Agricultural Cooperation protocol”. To reach an agreement in the field of agriculture, the most controversial issue between China and the United States, has become the most important foundation for the two countries to finally sign a bilateral agreement on China’s accession to the WTO.
