Features: China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) was a pivotal step in integrating China's market economy into the global market economy system, with profound impacts on the national economy. In the coming years, both corporate business practices and government participation in the economy will undergo qualitative changes. From production enterprises to trading enterprises, and from domestic trade enterprises to foreign trade enterprises, once the old monopolies are broken, traditional criteria for classifying enterprises will largely lose significance. This year marks both China's entry into the WTO and , as well as the designated national training year. To implement the decisions of the Party Central Committee and to unify the understanding of WTO entry, we have compiled this book to help governments and enterprises objectively analyze and correctly grasp the current dynamic international and domestic economic situation, research and formulate corresponding strategies. This book enables readers to quickly familiarize themselves with the basic knowledge of WTO, objectively understand its role and functions—seeing both its positive contributions and limitations—and appropriately balance compliance with international rules and domestic economic development. It advocates for an organic combination of expanding openness and self-development, gradually enhancing China's economic competitiveness in international competition.
