The "WTO" that shocked me!

When I didn't watch the film, I always thought that the "WTO" multilateral trade organization is an international organization with a healthy system, fairness, and positive promotion and guidance for the trade development of countries all over the world.
On November 10, 2001, China became a member of the WTO. I was still a high school student. Under the propaganda of newspapers and media, I vaguely felt that China's participation was to win glory for the country! Men, women and children are talking about it. Some executives of state-owned enterprises are shouting "the wolf is coming", while others are gearing up for a fight. We ordinary people agree that many imported products and the like will soon be reduced in price. Everyone is very excited about this and never has any worries. We are blindly optimistic~~ we don't know the real WTO at all!

Battle in Seattle quotes

  • Jay: I don't blame you. I mean, I do, but... Shit, you're not the problem. You're just doing your job, i guess. The people I'm really trying to fight are the ones who destroy so much, and they hurt so many lives. Not just one. Literally, millions. And no one ever points a gun at them. You know, they just seem so, unaccountable. Untouchable. Just seems kind of fucked that you're... You and me are the ones that have to fight each other.

  • Mayor Jim Tobin: Be tough on your issues but be gentle on my town.
