Making the Right Choices
With imports and exports accounting for nearly half of Chinese economic output last year,trade has become an essential part of its economy and society.
China’s decision in 1999 to join the World Trade Organization was a vital catalyst in its emergence as a major economic power. But since 2001, the WTO has been unable to finalize the new trade agreements (known as the Doha Round) that would enable the WTO system to keep pace with a globalizing world.
Nevertheless, countries around the world, including China, have continued to reach out on their own for the benefits of free trade and investment, by arranging bilateral free trade agreements with other countries with whom they see advantages in developing economic ties. The economic benefits of free trade have been demonstrated time and again. One country’s economic strengths are often another country’s weaknesses. Removing import restrictions and duties encourages a country to buy products from another country that make them cheaper and better, while exporting more of its own competitive products.
Free trade makes everyone better off, because greater specialization improves economic efficiency, which in turn encourages more trade and economic growth everywhere. History shows that trade between countries after they have signed a free trade agreement grows by as much as 100 percent.
China has used its attractiveness as a large market and powerful Asian presence to establish FTAs around the world with other economies, such as ASEAN, Chile, Peru, Singapore, New Zealand
and Costa Rica.
In 2010, China decided it needed to build a free trade foothold in Europe, its largest market and a vital strategic partner, and opened FTA discussions with Switzerland in January 2011.
The Swiss service-based and high-value-added economy is very complementary to China’s economy, although much smaller.
But at first sight it would appear that Switzerland has much more to gain than China from a free trade agreement. The removal of Chinese import tariffs as high as 15 percent on machinery imports will further support Switzerland’s already strong Chinese trade position, while Switzerland’s world-leading banking and insurance companies are big investors in China. Only in certain agricultural products, where Switzerland maintains import duties of more than 20 percent, does China appear to enjoy a significant advantage from liberalizing its Swiss trade. But the discussions demonstrate a Chinese strategic interest that extends far beyond developing closer economic ties with a much smaller country. Switzerland is located in the center of Europe, and although independent of the European Union, is closely linked economically and by trade agreements to the euro economy, as Costa Rica is with the United States.
With its road and rail links into Italy, France, Germany, Austria and beyond, Switzerland is an excellent place for Chinese companies to position themselves to develop the European market. Under a free trade agreement, China can export components and semi-finished products to Switzerland without paying any Swiss import duties.
Under a Sino-Swiss FTA, some of China’s exports to Switzerland, if re-exported to European countries, could displace European agricultural and manufactured products, such as autos and household products. Similarly, some Swiss exports to China that escape import tariffs of 10 percent or more will displace competitors’ products from other major exporters of specialized machinery, chemicals and watches, such as Germany, Japan and the US.
Since 2007 Europe has firmly embraced the bilateral free trade approach. Europe has just opened FTA negotiations with Japan, and is holding discussions with the US about developing free trade. China’s huge market and its average import duties of about 10 percent represent a very attractive prize for free traders.
Switzerland’s example could encourage the EU to consider opening FTA discussions with China, which would have to decide whether to weaken its role as leader of the large group of emerging world countries at the WTO Doha Round discussions, in order to gain the economic benefits of a bilateral European free trade agreement.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A、Joining WTO helped China become a major economic power in this world.
B、The Sino-Swiss FTA won’t have influence on other European country’s economy.
C、China can benefit a lot from Sino-Swiss FTA, especially in agriculture.
D、Europe has opened FTA negotiations with some Asian and American countries.
【正确答案】：B
【名师解析】:根据文章内容，选项B "The Sino-Swiss FTA won’t have influence on other European country’s economy" 是不正确的。文章中提到，通过中瑞自贸协定，中国向瑞士出口的部分商品如果再出口到欧洲其他国家，可能会取代欧洲的农业和制造业产品，例如汽车和家用电器。同样，瑞士对中国出口的某些商品，如果避免了10%或更高的进口关税，将可能取代其他主要专业机械、化学品和手表出口国，如德国、日本和美国的产品。这表明中瑞自贸协定对其他欧洲国家的经济是有影响的。
选项A "Joining WTO helped China become a major economic power in this world" 是正确的，因为文章指出中国在1999年决定加入世界贸易组织是其成为主要经济大国的关键因素。
选项C "China can benefit a lot from Sino-Swiss FTA, especially in agriculture" 也是正确的，尽管文章中提到中国在某些农产品上可能享有显著优势，但并没有特别强调农业是主要受益领域，而是提到了中国在机械进口关税上的降低将支持瑞士在中国的贸易地位，以及瑞士的银行和保险公司在中国的投资。
选项D "Europe has opened FTA negotiations with some Asian and American countries" 也是正确的，因为文章最后提到欧洲已经与日本开启了自贸协定谈判，并正在与美国讨论发展自贸。
综上所述，选项B是不正确的，因为它与文章内容相矛盾。
