Chinese President Jiang Zemin said in Guangzhou Sunday that China, as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), will strike a carefully-thought-out balance between honoring its commitments and enjoying its rights.
Jiang was speaking earlier Sunday during an inspection tour of Nanhai, in Guangdong Province, south China.
The president said that during the process of economic globalization, the economic and technical cooperation of a country with other parts of the world can be expanded advantageously only after the country establishes an economic and trade administrative system adaptable to internationally accepted norms and in line with the country's actual conditions.
He said China's WTO membership brings hard-won opportunity while constituting considerable challenge for the country.
The world trade body unanimously adopted a decision on China's accession to the WTO Saturday at its ministerial conference in Doha of Qatar.
Before his speech, the Chinese president watched a demonstration of the application of information technology by local government departments, used for systems of electronic administration, land management, and financial settlement.
He called on leaders at all levels to give priority to the use of information technology in China's economic and social development.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the central government will adopt more measures to promote the use of information technology in its industrialization and modernization drive, he added.
