22、of the members of the WTO after a long period of 15 years negotiations with the WTO member countries. During these years, China gradually liberalized most of her trade and investment policies, making the official admission largely symbolic. It is quite significant for China to join the WTO. It certa
23、inly will facilitate Chinas international business. And this should reinforce moves towards market liberalization. The WTO membership signals Chinas commitment to establish clear and enforceable non-discriminatory rules to conduct business within its own country and with other countries. China is be
