Abstract

The United States and China signed a historic agreement on 15 November 1999 that would pave the way for China to join the World Trade Organisation (WTO). While both sides trumpeted the agreement, it would also have profound impacts across various sectors of the Chinese economy. This case is designed for an MBA level course in International Business. It highlights the major themes of economic development of the People''s Republic of China, and traces its 13-year-long effort to join the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the WTO. In doing so, it allows for an exploration of international trade relations, the linkages between international trade and domestic economy, and the challenges of emerging and transitional economies.
