ABSTRACT
Since China applied for membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1986 there have been many concerns about its future position and role in the WTO. The reason for these concerns is that although China is a developing country, it is also a large and fast growing economy. What position would China take in the WTO? What role could China play in the WTO? The size and dynamics of the Chinese economy make China’s entry to the WTO different from that of any new members in past decades.
