问：据报道，21日，美国白宫经济顾问委员会主席哈塞特表示，中国作为WTO成员“行为不端”，并称要考虑是否把中国“开除”出WTO。有分析指出,美方的发言具有暗示的意味。中方对此有何评论？

　　答：WTO是多边机构，不是美国一家开的。WTO成员是平等的，也不是美国一家说了算的。美方个别人暗示将中国“开除”出WTO,虽然注定是痴人说梦，但它也暴露出美方强权霸凌的嘴脸和唯我独尊的心态。

Q: According to reports, on November 21, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers of the White House Kevin Hassert said that China had "misbehaved" as a member of the WTO and that we should consider whether to pursue evicting China from the WTO. Analysts say that has implied something. What's China's comment?

A: The WTO is a multilateral institution, one that is not run by the US. WTO members are all equal, rather than dominated by the US. Certain individual in the US hinting "evicting" China from the WTO, though a fool's talk, fully exposed the bullying features and self-important mindset of the US.  

　　据不完全统计，一段时间以来，美国相继退出了联合国教科文组织、联合国人权理事会、万国邮政联盟等国际组织，退出了跨太平洋伙伴关系协定（TPP）、巴黎气候变化协定、全球移民协议、伊朗核协议、《维也纳外交关系公约关于强制解决争端之任择议定书》等一系列国际文书。国际社会对美方打着“美国优先”的旗号“毁约”、“退群”的行径自有明鉴，对美方对多边机构和多边条约“合则用，不合则弃”的做法深表关切。

　　如果我没记错的话，不久前美国还威胁退出WTO。今天又说要将中国“开除”出WTO,这是何其荒诞！WTO成员间有分歧，完全可以通过谈判协商加以解决，动辄抛出“开除”别人的想法十分危险。中国是最大的货物贸易国、也是世界第二大经济体。连中国，美国都敢叫嚣着要“开除”出WTO,那其他国家呢？下一个会是谁？

According to incomplete statistics, recently, the US has withdrawn from such international organizations as UNESCO, the UN Human Rights Council, the Universal Postal Union, and pulled out of a series of international instruments including the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Global Compact on Migration, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and Optional Protocol on Disputes. The international community has a fair judgment of the US acts of scrapping pacts and quitting international organizations under the pretext of "America First", raising deep concerns over the US practice of approaching multilateral institutions and applying multilateral treaties in a selective way.

If my memory serves me right, not long ago the US even threatened to withdraw from the WTO, and now it hinted evicting China from the WTO. How ridiculous! The differences between the WTO members can surely be resolved through negotiation and consultation, and the wanton threat of "evicting" others is very dangerous. China is the largest trader in goods and the second largest economy in the world. If the US now can threaten to evict China from the WTO, then what about the other countries? Who will be the next?

　　中国加入WTO以后，积极履信守约。今年7月，WTO对中国进行了贸易政策审议，包括WTO总干事在内的各方普遍积极评价中国对多边贸易体制的支持和贡献，高度赞赏中方在WTO中与日俱增的作用。

　　中方致力于构建开放型世界经济，坚定支持以WTO为核心的多边贸易体制，愿与各方一道促进WTO在坚持自身核心价值和基本原则的基础上与时俱进，进行改革。与此同时，中方坚决捍卫多边主义，维护以规则为基础的国际秩序，愿与国际社会一道推动构建相互尊重、公平正义、合作共赢的新型国际关系，构建人类命运共同体。

Since its accession into the WTO, China has actively fulfilled its commitment. In last July, the WTO reviewed China's trade policies. The WTO Director-General and other parties have spoken positively of China's supports and contributions to the multilateral trading system and highly appreciated China's increasing role in the WTO.

China has been committed to building an open world economy, firmly supports the WTO-centered multilateral trading system and stands ready to work with various parties to promote the WTO reform based on its own core values and basic principles in keeping with the times. In the meantime, China steadfastly upholds multilateralism and the rules-based international order and is willing to work with other members of the international community to build a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice and win-win cooperation and forge a community with a shared future for mankind.
