The Emerging Landscape of Trade Liberalization and Non-Uniform China Effects Under the WTO Regime‪.‬

ABSTRACT Within the context of economic globalization and emerging WTO-related trade conflicts, the present study examines the ongoing debates over China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) from three perspectives: major opportunities and challenges from China's perspective, counterpoints from the United States' perspective, and prospective impacts from the global perspective. Results indicate that the China effect under the WTO regime will not be uniform globally; neither will it be equally beneficial to the Chinese. Suggestions for future research and implications for policy making are provided.
