Features: Compared to other books, this book has its own unique features. In terms of structural arrangement, it is logical and orderly. This book is divided into three parts in sequence: The first part is the Introduction, which primarily explains the origin and current status of the WTO; the second part is the Rules, which mainly introduces the various rules of the WTO and objectively evaluates the main rules to broaden readers' perspectives; WTO and China focuses on analyzing the arduous journey of China's entry into the WTO and the opening-up and development issues of three typical industries under the WTO framework. Second, in terms of the methodology for introducing the WTO, it is reader-oriented. For example, the second part, while remaining faithful to the original spirit of the rules, strives to make them as accessible as possible. The evaluation of the rules enables readers to understand their current implementation status and development trends; the additional content at the end of each chapter in the third part is even more convenient for readers to read. Third, in terms of the content covered in this book, it keeps pace with the times. This is reflected in each part, such as "Practices since the establishment of the WTO"; the current status of various rules; the opening-up and development of three typical industries after 2005; and so on. The book also proposes its own views on these new issues or topics. This book can serve as a teaching material for undergraduate courses in international economics and trade, business administration, and other economic management disciplines in higher education institutions, as well as an important reference book for postgraduate students in the field of industrial economics. At the same time, it can also be used as a learning reference for theoretical workers and practitioners in related fields.
