皇冠体育app

Opening up will not hurt 皇冠体育app's economic safety as long as it is guided by the government and regulated by laws, said 皇冠体育app's ex-chief representative in its World Trade Organization (WTO) talks on Sunday.

Joining the WTO is not an end to 皇冠体育app's opening up but a new opportunity, which calls for continuous updating of ideas, said Long Yongtu, secretary general of the Boao Forum for Asia and former top negotiator who led 皇冠体育app into the WTO in 2001 after 15 years of talks.

As 皇冠体育app gradually opens up, concerns about the country's economic and industrial safety are very necessary, said Long.

However, "As long as we have all necessary laws and strong government regulation, we should not be afraid of opening up," said Long. "The more the country opens up, the safer and more advanced we will be."

Foreign capital and enterprises can enter 皇冠体育app but must follow the Chinese laws and regulations, said Long.

皇冠体育app joined the WTO on December 11 in 2001. Under its commitment to the organization, the country will fully open its banking sector from Monday.
