美国让中国当“发达国家”？这是耍流氓！

据美国《国会山报》报道，美国国会众议院于当地时间27日以415：0的全票结果，通过了一项旨在剥夺中国“发展中国家”地位的立法草案。

草案要求美国国务卿致力于在有美国参与的国际组织中，剥夺中国的“发展中国家”地位，并将中国的相关地位修改为“中高收入国家”“高收入国家”或是“发达国家”，同时要求美国国务卿制定相关机制。

一名美国共和党议员妄称：“中国是仅次于美国的世界第二大经济体，既然美国被视为发达国家，中国也应该如此。”

"Their economy size is second only to that of the United States. [The] United States is treated as a developed country, so should PRC." 

该草案还要求美国的外交高官在国际组织中阻止中国凭借“发展中国家”的地位获得任何优待。目前，该立法草案还需要美国参议院通过并得到美国总统拜登的签字，才能正式生效。

《中国日报》对此评论称，美国众议院此举有些过于儿戏了。

美国一直有人想剥夺中国发展中国家地位，世界贸易组织是其主要战场。世贸组织并不会把成员国划分为发达国家或者发展中国家，而是由加入的成员自己宣称并为其它成员接受，发展中国家能享受到一些优惠政策。早在上个世纪九十年代中国“入世”谈判时，美国方面就屡次反对中国以发展中国家身份“入世”；2019年时任美国总统特朗普更是抛出一揽子世贸组织改革方案，要求改变这条规则。

The US House of Representatives is rather childish in the move. For long, the US has always been trying to strip China of its status as a developing country, with the WTO as a main target. The organization allows new members to claim themselves to be developing or developed economies, of which the latter could get some benefits. Yet the US opposed China’s entry as a developing economy in early 1990s and required to change the WTO rule in 2010s.

这就耍流氓了！世贸组织本来就是美国及其盟友建立的，让成员自行宣称是否为发展中国家是当时美国主导定下的规则，是为了照顾他们自己的利益。现在美国发现这些规则有利于中国就要修改，那要规则还有什么意义？规则翻来覆去只为自己利益最大化，这哪有一丁点公平可言？只怕幼儿园过家家都没有这么玩的吧！

Which is rather against modern value. It was under the US’ leadership that the WTO passed the rule at its founding so as to serve Western interests; Now they want to alter the rules only because they serve the interests of China and other developing nations. To make and distort rules at will is a deed that even a kindergartner would shy from doing.

美国发现世贸组织众怒难犯，随即转变策略。此次美国众议院全票通过法案，就是要求国务卿在各个国际组织内都推动剥夺中国的发展中国家地位。从策略上，这是只针对中国；从打击范围上，这招不仅靠准世贸组织，而且囊括了绝大多数国际组织，出招狠毒。

The US’ moves of reforming the WTO have all failed. Now they target at China by requiring the Secretary of State to strip China of the status of a developing country in all organizations where both US and China are included, which might mean to take China as the first of the dominoes to fall.
