Features: With the acceleration of global economic integration, a unified and open international market is gradually forming. Particularly since the establishment of the WTO in 1995 and its subsequent operation, it has provided more effective organizational and cooperative mechanisms for global economic integration. The WTO is committed to reducing tariffs and various non-tariff barriers, with remarkable results. However, it has also been noted that as tariffs and non-tariff barriers between countries are continuously reduced, national and private anti-competitive measures have formed new trade barriers, severely distorting the normal order of the world market. Research on WTO competition rules in the domestic academic field is still in its early stages. Dr. Zhu Jiaxian has seized this cutting-edge issue, overcoming difficulties and dedicating herself to in-depth research. She wrote her doctoral dissertation with great effort, immersing herself in study at both Peking University and the University of Cambridge over several years, and then revised and supplemented it. This book is well-documented, concise in format, meticulous in argumentation, and presents clear, insightful, and profound views. It can be regarded as the pioneering and exploratory work by domestic academia to date on a comprehensive and systematic study of WTO competition rules.
