Abstract

The emergence of China was one of the most important features of the world economy in the last quarter of the 20th century. At the dawn of the new millennium, most observers believe its subsequent development would be one of the most important features of the 21th century. This view has been bolstered by the successful completion of bilateral negotiations with the United States (in November 1999) and the European Union (in May 2000) over China''s entry into the World Trade Organisation (WTO). A growing concern over the impact that China''s economic emergence would have on the region however, has caused policymakers and managers in Asia to begin to take stock of the impact of China''s economic emergence on their own economies. This case is designed for an MBA level course in International Business. It explores the interactions between China and its neighbours to date, and considers how those interactions will change as China emerges on the world economic stage in the 21st century. The case also analyses the effect of China''s entry into the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on its neighbours, and continues in another Centre for Asian Business case, ''China and the Sino-US WTO Agreement'' (301-028-1), which discusses the agreement in further detail.
