PRINCETON – When Mexico’s then-President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and his American counterpart, Bill Clinton, signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) more than 20 years ago, the hope was that the Mexican economy would be swept forward by a rising wave of globalization. By many measures, that hope has been amply fulfilled.
普林斯顿—20多年前，当时任墨西哥总统卡洛斯（Carlos Salinas de Gortari）和时任美国总统克林顿（Bill Clinton）签署北美自由贸易协定（North American Free Trade Agreement，NAFTA）时，人们寄希望墨西哥经济能够乘全球化的东风一飞冲天。从许多指标看，这一希望可以说已经实现。
