ChinaPower | China’s Influence in the WTO

China’s accession to the World Trade Organization was heralded by the international community as a victory for free trade and economic liberalization. While China has been one of the organization’s most active members, Beijing has not instituted deep, systemic reforms and its compliance with WTO rulings has been mixed.

Trade war is good and easy to win. A stable genius

From CSIS's logic it is fine when America controls or has significant influence in WTO, otherwise it is illegal.

Huh, misleading right from the get-go I see. China is a developing economy under the WTO rules, which provides it with more leeway to impliment tariff barriers to protect their growing domestic industries. So one wouldn't expect it to have the same tariff barriers as the most developed economies in the entire world (the U.S. and western European countries). China's economy is only the second largest because it has such a massive population, not because it has developed anywhere near as much as the U.S. So the claim that they should have the same tariff barriers as the U.S. is nonsense, unless you are suggesting that the U.S. should be allowed to economically colonize China, again, and put its underdeveloped domestic industries out of business.

Lol this is pure anti Chinese propaganda

[shihtzuview]

Yeah, from CSIS. When you compare WTO records between USA and China than you know about fairness. Dont forget, WTO rules were set by American and its allies, not China. To view how China behaved? Yes, should review US first.

When I was little, I learned that you stop playing with the kid that doesn't follow the rules.

Failure of China to abide by the WTO rules has been meet with little consequence. The system is broken if you can not punish China for this behavior.
