This day, 21 April, in 1948, the then Chinese government signed a provisional application to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) that would later become the World Trade Organiasation (WTO). However, the Taiwan authorities arbitrarily  withdrew China from GATT in March, 1950. It would then take until 11 December, 2011, for China to officially become a WTO member.

这一天,1948年4月21日,当时的中国政府签署了一份临时申请,加入关税及贸易总协定(GATT),该协定后来成为世界贸易组织(WTO)。 然而,台湾当局于1950年3月任意将中国从关贸总协定中撤出。 直到2011年12月11日,中国才正式成为世贸组织成员。
