the fact is that every country must protect the profit of own's country.
so the doha round refers to losing its benefit, the result is that developed countries will kill it.  but , the will of doha is great, while the way is long.
ps:
The Doha Round of talks is supposed to correct the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules that are biased against developing countries -At least, that's what the original idea was.
多哈回合谈判应该是纠正对发展中国家有偏见的WTO规则。至少，这是最初的想法。

Developed economies such as U.S. are the rule-makers in WTO. It is ridiculous to require the the developed countries for equality, as they make rules to squeeze developing countries' each drop of profit.

好东西。。。。。

"The Doha Round of talks is supposed to correct the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules that are biased against developing countries --At least, that's what the original idea was. " So what happened to the Doha Round? Why didn't it run well?

The Doha Round's original objective is to lower trade barriers around the world, which will help facilitate the increase of global trade. A study by the University of Michigan found that if all trade barriers in agriculture, services, and manufactures were reduced by 33% as a result of the Doha Development Agenda, there would be an increase in global welfare of $574.0 billion.  However in 2008, talks have stalled over a divide on major issues, such as agriculture, industrial tariffs and non-tariff barriers, services, and trade remedies.

This seemed unreasonable, a trade negotiation which aimed to liberalize the barriers and benefit both sides had been stuck, why did someone do this? Let's  focus on the real benefits. A 2008 study by World Bank Lead Economist Kym Anderson found that global income could increase by more than $3000 billion per year, $2500 billion of which would go to the developing world. From this man's report, we can understand that the benefit is not the most important, the profit distribution is what the developed countries really care about. This is just like a Game with Threat, the incumbent will threaten the incomer for a lose-lose outcome instead of the slight profit increase bring by the incomer. So the developed countries seem to be irrational on the Doha Round but they are just defending their hegemony throne. If they can't get the bigger part of the welfare, the Doha Round won't take another further step.

The Doha Round has been caught in a quagmire because the rich countries have refused to concede even an inch of space to the developing countries。 For almost a decade, the talks have focused on forcing the developing countries to open their markets further, while the advanced economies continue to carry on business as usual
发达国家有自己的利益集团，他需要保持住自己的先发优势，因此用尽手段阻碍发展中国家的发展，尤其是对中国这样的新兴经济体国家，IMF就是这样，卡恩的卸任不仅仅因为性侵，某些高层的丑闻肯定要比卡恩的严重的多，原因肯定是他触犯了某些利益团体，与此雷同，IMF肯定不会让新兴经济体国家的代表人出任IMF总裁。
Instead, they stand to lose a great deal. They will have to reduce their agriculture tariff further. They will also have to cut the tariff on industrial products drastically. And the worst sufferers will be countries like China, India and Brazil.       We have cut our tariffs by 70 percent and according to what is on the table in the DohaRound, China will cut tariffs by another 30 percent," Yu said at the APEC forum in Montana
面对发达国家的压迫，我们也只好减免对农业的保护关税，感觉上中国的ZF干预经济确实在面对经济危机是要比美国等市场经济要主动一些，中国在08年经济危机中的迅速升温肯定使发达国家眼红，中国此时更应该顶住压力，让中国经济“软着陆”，稳健的开放中国市场

很好,学习了

"And what will the developing countries get. Nothing! Instead, they stand to lose a great deal. They will have to reduce their agriculture tariff further. They will also have to cut the tariff on industrial products drastically      And the worst sufferers will be countries like China, India and Brazil."when i read this part,i laughed.but then i was lost in thought. According to law of the jungle, the majority of developing countries inevitably become the object of exploitation by developed countries.
It's fortunately that our country has grown quite powerful though we have sacrificed a lot. And we are getting better and better performance on the international ground,we should do something to order the international community to achieve a better level.

26.26谈判还是根据实力划分规则制定者和规则接受者，经济背后一直都是政治。
