As for the World Trade Organi-zation, to which both sides are attempting to gain entry as early as possible, the PRC has brought its diplomatic superiority to bear in order to ensure that it will enter prior to Taiwan. However, because negotiations with the United States on early PRC entry have not reached a successful outcome, PRC entry has been continually postponed, which has seriously affected the schedule for ROC entry.
而兩岸都積極爭取早日入會的國際組織如世界貿易組織，中共也以其強大的外交優勢擺明必須先我入會，但其入會的行動因早前與美國談判未果，一直延宕，連帶地我國入會的時程也大受影響。
