Features: China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has had a significant impact on its economy, and it will inevitably have even more profound impacts. Further understanding the rules of the WTO and staying up-to-date with their application is a challenging and long-term task. This book primarily introduces the main legal systems and operations of the WTO. Part I covers general legal systems, including an overview of the WTO and its dispute settlement mechanism. Part II mainly introduces international trade treatment, tariff legal systems, quantitative restrictions and other non-product taxes, agricultural and textile trade systems, anti-dumping measures, subsidies and countervailing measures, safeguard measures, international trade in services, and trade-related intellectual property. Part III includes China's rights and obligations in the WTO, the challenges facing the WTO, and its future. This book combines theory and practice, making it highly readable. Additionally, it includes numerous exercises with solutions, which are helpful for both instructors and students in teaching and learning. This book is designed to be used in conjunction with the teaching material "Case Studies on the World Trade Organization" compiled by Han Liyu and published by China Renmin University Press for optimal results. The book is divided into three parts: Part I introduces general legal systems; Part II introduces specific trade systems; and Part III introduces China and the WTO.
