Although the R.O.C. is not a member nation of GATT at present, it's still a member of the international community and has to play by the "rules." The U.S. is the largest trading partner of the R.O.C.
雖然我國目前並不是 GATT 的會員國，但做為國際舞台的一員，總難免要守一些「規矩」；何況美國是我國最大的貿易國，去年對美順差達一百六十億美元，美國自然不會放過這個「名正言順」的機會，要求我國開放農產品市場。
