　　China: 10 Years after Joining the WTO
　　On December 11, 2001, China officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO), making the dream of several generations of Chinese people come true. Since then, looking back at what happened, Pascal Lamy, director-general of the WTO, gave an A+ rating for Chinas performance in the WTO in the past ten years.
　　On November 15, 1999, China and the U.S.A signed the bilateral agreement. On May 18, 2000, China reached an agreement with the European Union. These two agreements eradicated the largest obstacle for China in joining the WTO. In 2001, Shi Guangsheng, then the Minister for ForEign Trade in China, signed the agreement on Chinas joining the WTO. From submitting the application on July 10, 1986, to finally joining the WTO, China went through 15 years of negotiations and meetings. Zhu Rongji, former Chinese premier, once said that he and his contemporaries would see their hair turn grey before hearing of China joining the WTO. 总结大全 http:///html/zongjie/
　　 More Challenges than Opportunities
　　Most people do not understand the difficulties and unease during the negotiations of the WTO. When recalling the current situation, Zhang Xiangchen, director of the research office of Chinas Ministry of Commerce, said:The biggest difficulty at that time was whether joining the WTO would bring us benefits or harm. Some of us worried that the auto industry and tariff in China would be affected after joining this organization. Fortunately, 10 years have past and our worries never became a reality.
　　In order to make more precise judgments, Zhang Xiangchen and his colleagues spent a lot of time and energy on analysis and forecasting and proved that joining the WTO was a correct move for China. This reassured people present at the negotiation. However, as Zhang Xiangchen said, the correct move did not mean that there were no problems. For example, there were disputes over reducing or completely removing tariffs for some products. The result proved that it would be unimaginable if the tariffs for some products were completely removed. 论文代写 http://

　　It is not an exaggeration to say that China went through complete changes after joining the WTO; the country began to improve in all respects and began to be integrated into the world; its strength went up and the reform deepened; it has become more international- ized and the Chinese government and enterprises have passed the test.
　　It is worthwhile to mention that China has developed from the 9th largest economy to the 2nd largest economy in the past ten years. According to data from the World Bank, the economic growth rate of China exceeded 10% in 2010 and accounted for 25% of global economic growth. Thus, China has been the engine of global economic growth for two straight years. 代写论文 http://
