(Source: "Chinese Talents"2020-1 Reporter: Wang Yujun Gao Lanlan)

himis the World w88 Organization (WTO) is a well-deserved leader in the research community, and his contributions in many aspects such as academic research, teaching and educating people are awe-inspiring. The "International w88" textbook edited by him in the 1980s and 1990s was widely used by domestic universities. Among them, the book "International w88" won the first prize for scientific research results and teaching materials from the Beijing Municipal Government and the former Ministry of Foreign w88 and Economic Cooperation, and was selected as a key textbook by the country.
In research, he thinks independently but is not stubborn, He is not only superior, not just books; he is good at looking at problems dialectically, combining forward thinking and reverse thinking, and seeking truth from facts; He insists on studying the text in depth, clarifying the key points and then making rational judgments. His knowledge of international w88 practices andThe research on WTO rules keeps pace with the times, provides suggestions for China’s restoration of customs and WTO accession, and makes every effort to deal with and expand the influence of the world after China’s accession to the WTO.
He is Xue Rongjiu, the leader of the international w88 discipline at the w88 casino and the vice president of the China World w88 Organization Research Association. Approaching Xue Rongjiu, you will be moved by the old man's talkativeness, and feel his rigorous scholarship, sincerity and deep feelings for his family and country. It makes people feel that his ups and downs of life experience are like a heavy book. The connotation is rich and far-reaching.
Never give back Go all the way
Xue RongjiuyuBorn in 1934 in Qian'an City, Hebei Province, a city with profound cultural heritage. His grandfather was a local paper-cutting celebrity. In 1954, his works were sent to the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries for exhibition. My father did not graduate from elementary w88 casino, but he was self-taught. He was proficient in poetry and songs and loved to collect. The original calligraphy of Zhao Meng was his favorite. After the land reform, there was no middle w88 casino in his hometown. In 1949, his father resolutely took three of his classmates to Beijing to take the middle w88 casino entrance examination. Because of his poor elementary w88 casino foundation, Xue Rong was not admitted to a public middle w88 casino for a long time and was admitted to the private Beijing Huiwen Middle w88 casino. The w88 casino tuition is very high, and more than 30 bags of flour are needed for tuition. The family finally raised the tuition fees and gave Xue Rongjiu a month's food allowance. In October, Xue Rongjiu's family had not yet received living expenses, and he went hungry for several days. When he was unable to do anything, the w88 casino received a notice from the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau that families with financial difficulties could apply for scholarships. Xue Rongjiu received a first-class scholarship, which solved the problem of food, but he was worried about the tuition for the next semester, so his father wrote a letter to the principal. The principal proposed that as long as he achieved an average score of 95 or above in the courses he studied, he would be exempted from two-thirds of the tuition fee, and the remaining tuition fee would be to help in the library and kitchen. From then on, Xue Rongjiu studied hard and always ranked among the best.
After high w88 casino, Xue Rongjiu was recommended to apply for the Beijing Institute of International w88 (the predecessor of the w88 casino), which was a confidential institution at the time,Entered the Department of Foreign Economics and w88 in 1955. At that time, after the adjustment of departments, the w88 casino gathered experts and teachers from all over the country. Xue Rongjiu’s undergraduate thesis was awarded “Excellent” and was read out at the graduation ceremony. After graduating from the undergraduate program in 1960, which coincided with the launch of the postgraduate system in the country, his counselor approached him and asked him to stay in w88 casino for postgraduate studies, to which Xue Rongjiu readily agreed. As a graduate student majoring in international w88, Xue Rongjiu studied under the guidance of the famous economist Yuan Xianneng, known as "Yuan from the South to the North". He entered the palace of Western economic theory and international w88 theory, wrote an excellent dissertation, and became the first graduate student.
After graduation, Xue Rongjiu stayed at the w88 casino to teach and experienced a lotIn the autumn of 1970, he entered various political movements from the "Four Cleanings" to the "Cultural Revolution" and entered the "May 7th Cadre w88 casino" of the Ministry of Foreign w88 in Xixian, Henan. In his spare time, he took the time to memorize English words. In September 1971, after receiving the order to resume w88 casino, Xue Rongjiu raced against time and studied day and night. In early April 1974, Xue Rongjiu was temporarily seconded to the international team of the former Ministry of Foreign w88 to prepare speech materials for Deng Xiaoping's attendance at the Sixth Special General Assembly of the United Nations. This work enabled him to read numerous English materials on international organizations, which inspired Xue Rongjiu to study the General Agreement on Tariffs and w88.Agreement".
In 1986, the Chinese government applied to the General Agreement on Tariffs and w88 to resume its contracting party status. Xue Rongjiu became a member of the expert group of the former Ministry of Foreign w88 on China's customs resumption. In 1991, the w88 casino established the General Agreement on Tariffs and w88 (GATT) Research Society. As China's resumption of customs and WTO negotiations progressed, the w88 casino The GATT Research Society turned into the China World w88 Organization (WTO) Research Center, with Xue Rongjiu serving as president and director.
“China’s accession to the WTO is a milestone in China’s reform and opening up”
According to the inherent requirements of reform and opening up, after a long periodAfter 15 years of arduous negotiations on resumption of WTO relations and accession to the WTO, China became the 143rd member of the WTO on December 11, 2001. As one of China's leaders in WTO research, Xue Rongjiu is not only a witness to China's accession to the WTO, but also a person who has experienced it.
In 1999, Xue Rongjiu led four young teachers to the Australian National University to co-edit WTO training materials. During this period, he was invited by Columbia University to participate in an international academic seminar with the theme of "The Impact of China's Accession to the WTO on the United States and Japan." Before boarding the plane, he received a fax from the Chinese Embassy in Australia. The content was that the host of the academic conference asked him to speak on a specific question at the conference - "Does China's current political and economic system conflict with the basic principles of the WTO, or are they consistent?". Xue Rongjiu wanted to decline such a sensitive topic. "When I arrived in New York, at the family dinner of the famous American professor Bahavati that night, the host of the conference, Ms. Jie Sinuo, dean of Columbia University Law w88 casino, told me that apart from me, there were two other people invited from China to attend the conference, including Long Yongtu, but they could not come to the conference. They once again emphasized that they wanted me to talk about the topic set on the telex. My idea of rejecting it fell through."
Back at the hotel, with no time to catch up on jet lag, Xue Rongjiu combined his usual experience of paying attention to domestic political and economic development to write an English speech overnight. The next morning, Xue Rongjiu made a speechThe main point of the speech of more than 20 minutes is that China's current political and economic system is consistent with the basic principles of the WTO, and there are also conflicts. “After the reform and opening up in 1978, China took economic construction as the key link. In 1994 The socialist market economic system was established after 2001. Because it has just begun to transform, there may be conflicts in some aspects, but it is not the mainstream. As China’s reform and opening up deepens, the proportion of coincidence will become larger and larger. Because China has a long history, profound cultural heritage, and a tradition of being good at learning, I believe that after China joins the WTO, it will learn from the good experience of market economic development and combine it with China’s excellent traditional culture to create world social and political values that are higher than the contemporary world.” Xue Rongjiu's speech acknowledged my country's shortcomings, affirmed progress, and looked forward to the future. It was very convincing and was appreciated by the participants. Ms. Jie Sinuo, the moderator of the meeting, said in her concluding remarks, "Professor Xue explained our concerns."
This experience deeply touched Xue Rongjiu. His research on the WTO also went deep into the role of national quality and socialist cultural construction from the economic and w88 level.
JoinAfter the WTO, China has grown from a toddling new member in the early days into a core member that plays a decisive role and can exert influence on various negotiation areas. Gradually
Adapted byThe trend of WTO rules leads the formulation of WTO rules. However, there is always controversy over whether the benefits of my country's entry into the WTO outweigh the disadvantages, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. At the beginning of China's accession to the WTO, some media exclaimed that "the wolf is coming." Xue Rongjiu believed that "this view distorts the meaning of China's accession to the WTO. It should be the arrival of partners for competition and cooperation." Xue Rongjiu explained, "Rights and obligations are reciprocal. While we enjoy rights, we must let the other party enjoy the corresponding rights. Opportunities and challenges coexist. If we respond well, we will turn challenges into opportunities. If we respond poorly, we will turn opportunities into our own challenges. The key lies in what our Chinese government does. After joining the WTO, some people proposed that the functions of the Chinese government should be weakened. I think it is not a weakening, but a transformation. From the original management methods under the planned economy to the management methods under the market economy." Facts speak louder than words. Just 10 years after joining the WTO, China has become the world's largest goods trading country and the second largest economy. Its comprehensive national strength has been greatly improved, the national economy and people's livelihood have been greatly improved, and its voice and strength in participating in global economic governance have been greatly enhanced.
So far, although China has joined the WTOIn 2018, Chinese society still lacked understanding of the WTO and had not fully recognized the great achievements of China's accession to the WTO. Whenever complaints about w88 disputes against China arise, a considerable number of Chinese public opinion and media do not judge the merits of the w88 dispute in accordance with WTO rules and analyze the causes of China's own w88 disputes. Instead, they believe that the "double anti-dumping" investigation against China seems to be discriminatory, unfriendly, w88 protectionist, and excessive in rhetoric.
Some well-known scholars and professorsUse the "additional" method to understand and comment on the WTO with your own knowledge, and summarize the gains and losses after China's entry into the WTO. Without knowing the whole story, some of them were filled with indignation about WTO members' w88 complaints against China and used emotional language to go online, which was misleading and caused social unrest. On the tenth anniversary of China's accession to the WTO, a certain scholar actually proposed that China should withdraw from the WTO, arguing that China's accession to the WTO was deeply entrenched in "bad w88."
“I think the improvement of awareness of rules is China’s biggest gain after joining the WTO, and the lack of awareness of rules is also China’s biggest regret after joining the WTO.” Xue Rongjiu advocated not to blame others casually when problems arise. Some public opinions on China's WTO accession and rights protection are still based on passion rather than rationality, which is not conducive to China's compliance with WTO rules and its important role in participating in global governance.
Xue Rongjiu deeply feels that the current research tasks are very heavy, among which the WTO is broad and profound, involving theory, policy, practice, law, negotiation, diplomacy and other aspects, There are many questions that need to be explored."The study of rules must be very in-depth and very detailed. A dialectical analysis method must be adopted, and neither blind affirmation nor blind denial should be adopted. The research method of 'first inside and then outside' should be adopted, that is, to clarify the internal situation. I am opposed to the 'external' approach."
Work hard, seek innovation
Xue Rongjiu believes that the undergraduate degree is the foundation of the university and is directly related to the basic quality of master's and doctoral students.After becoming a doctoral supervisor in 1993, he still taught three courses for undergraduates. After retirement, he continued to teach until he was over 80 years old. Xue Rongjiu focuses on the exploration and research of teaching methods, establishes his own teaching philosophy, and positions the training method of teaching subjects at three levels of undergraduates, masters and doctoral students as "learning, research and understanding". Undergraduate courses are mainly about learning. In terms of teaching methods, lectures are the main focus, with appropriate discussions. Heuristic methods are used in lectures, and indoctrination is abandoned. The teaching methods for master's students are mainly seminars, with guidance and comments strengthened to cultivate students' independent research abilities. In the teaching of doctoral students, students' scalability and forward-looking thinking are improved through teachers' personal experiences. In 2003, Xue Rongjiu won the title of Beijing’s first “Famous University Teaching Teacher”.
Xue Rongjiu believes that the compilation of course materials is the foundation for the construction of quality courses.Since the late 1970s, "International w88", which he edited, has become a highly influential core financial and economics textbook for the Ministry of Education in China. From 1982 to 1983, the w88 casino sent him to the w88 casino of Business Administration of the University of California as a visiting scholar for further studies. During his further studies, he eagerly learned about American teaching and research methods. After returning to w88 casino, he created a new course "Economic and w88 Research and Thesis Writing" based on China's situation. After China joined the World w88 Organization in 2001, he created the "Introduction to the World w88 Organization" course in 2003 based on the needs of talents for China's entry into the WTO. The textbooks edited by Xue Rongjiu have been widely used by domestic universities, and "Economic and w88 Research and Thesis Writing" has become an excellent textbook in Beijing. The "International w88" and "Introduction to the World w88 Organization" he taught have become national-level quality courses.
He divided research methods into three levels: methodology, general research methods, and specific research methods. Based on his own situation, he summarized research methods such as inside-out, tracking, and fishbone style.Over the years, Xue Rongjiu has continuously explored cutting-edge and major issues in the academic field, actively studied central documents and the latest academic results, paid attention to outstanding issues and practical issues in the field of international w88, and has written extensively. Has published more than 100 academic papers and articles at home and abroad, and published textbooks, writings, anthologies, travel notes, etc.More than 40 works, among which "The World w88 Organization and China's Economic and w88 Development" won the 1998 "An Zijie International w88 Academic Research" Achievement Award.
Due to the needs of the country, Xue Rongjiu devoted a lot of time and energy to research, teaching and related social activities of the General Agreement on Tariffs and w88 and the WTO. He said with great affection,“My greatest wish is to cultivate first-class WTO experts for China, deepen research and propose countermeasures for China to settle down in the WTO; at the same time, through research, promote the reform of the WTO and promote the development of WTO members and world economy and w88.” Xue Rongjiu trained the first batch of doctoral students in the WTO research field in China. Now, this batch of graduated doctoral students have become rising stars in domestic WTO research and pillars of teaching and public service.
In addition, he has also been invited to give many academic reports on world economy and w88, the World w88 Organization, etc. for central ministries and commissions, party schools, provincial and municipal leading cadres, social groups, universities, etc. Increased the awareness of all sectors of societyThe correct understanding of the WTO provides the ideological and decision-making basis for China’s economic and w88 development.
In 2007, Xue Rongjiu retired honorably, but the responsibilities and missions on his shoulders still continued. He continued to serve as the leader of the international w88 discipline at the w88 casino. He devoted himself with full enthusiasm to the cause of "studying domestic and foreign economic and w88 trends and writing unique articles on talent cultivation." In order to strengthen academic inheritance, he successively edited "Collected Works of Yuan Xianneng" and "Collected Works of Yao Tsang-yin" after 2012. In order to construct an international economic and w88 theory with Chinese characteristics, in 2013 he wrote "A Study of Marxist International Economic and w88 Theory". In order to make it clear that China has adhered to WTO rules and made achievements after joining the WTO, he wrote and published the book "China's Adherence to and Progress in WTO Rules" in 2018.
Marx said:"There is no smooth road in science. Only those who are not afraid of hard work and climb along the steep mountain road can hope to reach the glorious peak." Xue Rongjiu is such a perseverant climber.
