China and the WTO: Doing the Right Thing? (Abridged)
Abstract
In late 2001, the People's Republic of China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). Sets the terms of China's accession agreement against its compliance record some two years later. Discusses why key actors, such as business, organized labor, and other governments, either favored or opposed China's entry into the WTO. In addition, provides historical background on Chinese foreign economic relations, especially trade relations with the United States. Also covers recent changes in China's domestic political economy, including discussion of its new political leadership.
