【双语】搞保护主义是没有终点的单程票/Protectionism is a One-way Tick...

　　当地时间2018年3月31日，国务委员兼外交部长王毅在越南河内出席大湄公河次区域经济合作（GMS）第六次领导人会议。

On March 31, 2018 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the 6th Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) Economic Cooperation Leaders’ Meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam. 

王毅表示，开放是次区域发展的生命线。次区域发展取得的成就靠的是开放，未来争取更大发展仍然要依靠开放。我们要不断促进贸易和投资自由化便利化，支持多边贸易体制，推动经济全球化朝着开放、包容、普惠、平衡、共赢的方向发展。推动“区域全面经济伙伴协定”尽早结束谈判，引领区域自贸体系建设，努力改善营商环境，让市场主体活跃起来，让经济要素更顺畅、高效地流动起来。

Wang Yi said that openness is the lifeline of the sub-regional development. The past achievements in sub-regional development could not have been reaped without openness. Nor can we strive for greater development in the future without it. We should keep pushing forward trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, support multilateral trading regime and steer economic globalization in the direction of openness, inclusiveness, balance and shared benefits. We should work for the early conclusion of the negotiation on Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, so as to guide the building of regional free trade system. We should endeavour to improve business environment and make the market players active and economic factors flow in a more unimpeded and effective manner. 

王毅强调，中国一贯倡导构建开放型世界经济，坚持在开放中实现互利共赢，坚决反对搞贸易保护主义。搞保护主义既损人也不利己，是没有终点的单程票。通过平等协商、按照国际规则解决贸易争端才是正道。

Wang Yi stressed that China always advocates building an open world economy and adheres to achieving win-win outcomes through openness. We are firmly opposed to trade protectionism because it will harm both others and the initiator itself. Protectionism is indeed a one-way ticket to nowhere. The only correct way is to follow the golden rule to settle trade disputes through equal-footed consultation in accordance with the international rules.
