opened trade with East Europe as early as ten years ago, in name at any rate, but the requisite conditions were not in place--questions of shipping, tariff, and payment, for example, hadn't been solved--and so there were few results.
其實早在十年前，我國就已開放對東歐貿易了。但那時所謂的開放，只是政策性的，所有國際貿易的必要條件都不具備，譬如通匯、通信、運輸、簽證、關稅…… 種種問題沒有解決，所以開放歸開放，成果卻很少。
