Features: This book is a revised edition based on the author's "International Trade" (Second Edition) published in 2001. It was revised to implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Sixteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which emphasized a people-centered approach, established a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustainable development perspective, and focused on cultivating talents in international economic and trade. While retaining its fundamental theories, knowledge, and skills, the book has been adjusted, enriched, and expanded with new content in certain chapters. First, the content of chapters on regional economic integration, international capital flows, multinational corporations, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and contemporary international trade has been enriched and expanded. Second, the content of chapters on international trade policies, tariff measures, and non-tariff barriers has been revised in line with agreements reached by the WTO, with an emphasis on technical barriers to trade. Third, to accommodate China's rapidly rising status as a major trading nation, the content on China's trade relations with major trading partners has been added. This book can serve as a standard textbook for international economics and trade majors in universities nationwide, as well as a foundational text and reference for self-study in international trade, business management, law, and for training programs for professionals in international economic and trade.
