中国加入世界贸易组织已有一年。一年时光犹如弹指一挥——回想中国成功“入世”之际国人欢呼雀跃的场景,仍然历历在目,恍然如昨。然而,对于中国IT产业来说,在这短短一年时光中,却已经发生了深层次的嬗变——在加入世界贸易组织之初,很多人对我国并不强大的高科技产业的前景并不乐观,当时最为普遍的一种说法是:经济全球化已经成为不可阻挡的历史潮流,中国加入世界贸易组织,更是使得中国IT企业不得不在没有任何屏障的情况下直面全球化风潮的洗礼。在拥有强大的技术创新能力的外国竞争者面前,中国IT产业将面临极大的挑战和压力,很可能要在市场上节节败退。 然而,经过近一年来的实践检验,我们欣慰地发现,中国IT产业经受住了加入WTO所带来的考验,与此同时,世界各大IT巨头纷纷加大了在华投资力度,大量外资的涌入,在很大程度上对我国信息产业的迅猛发展起到了极大的推动作用。 It has been one year since China joined the WTO. A year’s time is like a fingertip - recalling the scene of the Chinese people cheering as they successfully acceded to the WTO remains vivid, it is as if yesterday. However, for the Chinese IT industry, profound changes have taken place in this short period of one year. In the early days after China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, many people did not have the prospect of a strong high-tech industry in our country. Not optimistic. The most common saying was that economic globalization has become an irresistible historical trend. China’s accession to the World Trade Organization has even caused China’s IT companies to face the baptism of a globalized wave without any barrier. In the presence of foreign competitors with strong technological innovation capability, China’s IT industry will face great challenges and pressures and is likely to step down in the market. However, after nearly a year of practical testing, we are relieved to find that China’s IT industry has withstood the test of WTO accession. At the same time, the major IT giants in the world have increased their investment in China and the large amount of foreign investment Influx, to a large extent, has played a significant role in promoting the rapid development of China’s information industry.
