经过长期努力,我国终于在2001年成为WTO成员。这是我国迈入新世纪,推进改革开放的又一个里程碑。入世将对我国的政治、经济和人民生活各个方面产生深刻影响,也给煤炭企业带来机遇与挑战。如何应对入世,促进竞争力的增强和效益的提高,是煤炭企业当前最为紧迫的问题。 After long-term efforts, China finally became a WTO member in 2001. This is another milestone for our country entering the new century and advancing reform and opening up. The accession to the WTO will have a profound impact on China’s political, economic, and people’s lives. It will also bring opportunities and challenges to coal companies. How to deal with accession to the WTO, promote the enhancement of competitiveness and increase the efficiency are the most pressing issues for coal companies.
