中国已经入世,在与国际经济的接轨中,中国经济的各个领域可能都将面临新的机遇和挑战。中国是农业大国,中国广大农村的基础环境与国外发达国家相比较太薄弱,农村所受的挑战可能更大。如何消除我国农村经济发展的障碍,发挥我们的长处以应对挑战,是今年“两会”代表们最为关心的问题之一。本刊特安排一组有关农村话题的文章,以做他山之石。 Since China is a member of the WTO, China will face new opportunities and challenges in all fields of its economy in line with the international economy. China is a big agricultural country. The basic environment in the vast rural areas of China is too weak compared with the developed countries in the world and the challenges posed by the rural areas may be even greater. How to eliminate the barriers to the development of our rural economy and give play to our strengths to meet the challenges is one of the issues most concerned by the NPC and CPPCC members this year. The magazine arranges a group of articles on rural topics to be the stone of other hills.
