摘要
2001年11月10日,新千年的第一个深秋,中国作为世界贸易组织第143个成员国终于以自信和稳健的步伐跨入了WTO的大门.这历时15年的一跨,预示着中国从此走向了与世界经济强国平等竞争的漫漫长路,开始了一场永无止境的激烈竞争.入世后,中国首先开放的是包括航运业在内的服务业.中国承诺在3～5年时间,至多5年必须全面开放服务领域.中国加入WTO首席谈判代表龙永图曾经感叹,中国最困难的决定就是从现在开始,有步骤有条件地开放服务贸易产业,这是谈判的核心.
For accession to WTO, China was committed to fully open up its service industries including shipping within a time span up to five years. So, the transportation enterprises are facing a great competitive pressure. But, with increasing imports and exports by China, foreign trade by means of ocean shipping will go up at a yearly speed of 8-10%. As 84% of foreign trade is transported by shipping, the development of foreign trade will certainly have an impact on the development of shipping fleet. After China's accession to WTO, what type of ships will be more prospective? This article gives you an in-depth analysis and prospect.
