China's WTO Accession Reassessed

Chinas accession to the World Trade Organisation in 2001 was a highly significant event both for China and the wider world. This book argues that, although at the time some people doubted the likely benefits, Chinas WTO accession has been highly successful. It discusses how China has abided by WTO terms and how membership has contributed to Chinas reform, showing how Chinas WTO membership has been a great stimulus both for Chinas economy and the world economy. The book considers the subject from a range of perspectives, drawing out lessons for Chinas future reform and development, and its relations with the rest of the world, emphasising the need to maintain a win-win approach.
