3 ( Homework) President Obama’s Toast in welcoming President Hu and the Chinese delegation
Passage
After
15 years of negotiation, on November 10, 2001 at the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar, WTO members formally approved the accession package of the People’s Republic of China. Since then, China witnesses an economic take-off when more foreign investors are flocking into China with their advanced technologies or managing expertise. However, when opportunities come, challenges arises. Chinese national economy may be dealt with a blow when Chinese manufacturing industry loses ground to foreign counterpart in terms of technology or management expertise, or the prospect of Chinese service industry darkens as mature foreign service companies are sweeping their victories.
