China's Accession to the World Trade Organization, Policy Reform, and Poverty Reduction : An Introduction
China's accession to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) was a watershed event for both
China and the WTO. After 30 years of effective isolation
from the world economy, and close to a quarter century of
autonomous reforms, China joined the legal framework of the
world trading system. In doing so China made an
extraordinarily wide-ranging set of commitments to reform of
its own legal and administrative system and to
thorough-going liberalization of trade in goods and
services. This issue contains five studies from a major
project undertaken by the World Bank and the Development
Research Centre of China's State Council. A key
objective of the studies was to assess the impact of the
reforms associated with WTO accession on poverty in China,
particularly in rural areas, which now lag so badly behind
urban areas.
