Joining APEC is the same. I recognize that the political significance is very great, that we can sit down peacefully with the Chinese Communists, but the economic significance is even greater. We should properly use this opportunity for open and equal talks with the other countries and completely get rid of trade barriers.
參加亞太經合會也一樣，政治意義很大，我承認，可以與中共平起平坐；但經濟意義更大，從此與這些國家有了公開、對等的談判機會，我們應好好掌握，儘量把一些貿易障礙清除掉。
