Abstract

After a long wait of some 15 years, China finally became a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in December 2001. This was a major milestone not only for China but also for the WTO, boosting the coverage and potential impact of the multilateral trading system. China can now fully participate in the WTO and help shape the rules on which the multilateral trading system is based. This development also has important regional implications, including some potential implications for Pacific island economies.
