China in the WTO: The Debate
Foreign Policy in Focus and The Interhemispheric Resource Center, USA
Supplied note:
"'China in the WTO: The Debate'
by James H. Nolt, World Policy Institute.
Joining the WTO will not give China any trading advantage with the
U.S. that it does not already enjoy, but China anticipates that
securing permanent NTR will remove the political embarrassment of
Congress' annual scrutiny of its human rights, labor, and
environmental record. More importantly for the U.S., the agreement
grants unprecedented access to the Chinese market for both U.S.
exports and investments - including in politically sensitive sectors
like banking, insurance, and telecommunications - and it will improve
the chances for relations to develop peacefully on the basis of mutual
interest. In seeking WTO membership for China, the U.S. government has
rejected arguments by many labor, human rights, and environmental
groups that this should be tied to commitments by China to improve
human rights and environmental standards."
