    China's WTO Membership and the Non-Market Economy Status: discrimination and impediment to China's foreign trade
    in Journal of Contemporary China , Volume 24, Issue 94, 2015 ,  2015 ,  742-757
    This article provides a Chinese perspective on the terms of China's WTO accession, highlighting the negative impact of some discriminatory conditions that China accepted in order to join the WTO on its foreign trade and global competitiveness in the last decade. The author uses the non-market economy status of China as a case study to support the argument that these discriminatory conditions imposed on China upon accession have not only impeded the healthy development of China's foreign trade, but also violated the ‘non-discrimination’ principle of the WTO.
