 After five years in the WTO, China has completed its transition period as a WTO member. Membership in the WTO exerts great impetus on the process of restructuring the economic system and affects the way the economy is managed. It also provides China the opportunity to play a large and growing role in the world economy. For the full potential of the post-accession era to be realized, however, China needs to address a series of challenges associated with “at-the-border” and “behind-the-border” issues, such as: Implementing the structural adjustments required by the WTO agreement and sustaining integration and economic growth;
Addressing the risks associated with opening the financial sector (banking, securities and insurance sectors) and other services, and
Strengthening capacity to mitigate the potential risks to poverty and income inequality.
This series of capacity building courses, developed in a period of 7 years (1999-2006), brings together the most relevant results from the research conducted by the World Bank, as well as by our partner researchers in China, on the Pre-WTO and Post-WTO accession challenges. Through publishing this website, we hope to raise the level of awareness among policy makers, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders regarding post-WTO opportunities and the challenges, deepen the understanding on the impact of China’s integration in the world; strengthen the efforts in capacity building for meeting those challenges, and provide policy advice and help explore ways to deal with potentially painful adjustments.
在入世5年之后,中国已经结束了WTO新成员的过渡期。WTO成员国的资格为中国继续推进经济体制改革带来巨大的动力,也影响到管理经济的方式,同时它也给中国在世界经济中发挥更大作用的机会。但要充分实现WTO成员国的潜能,在很多方面中国仍面临着一系列挑战,如: 具体而言,这些挑战包括国企改革、对人力资本和基础设施的投资、银行业不良资产的解决、鼓励从农村向城市移民、改进公司治理、监管垄断产业、为社保筹资以及环境保护等。 这一系列能力培养课程搜集了7年来世界银行以及我们在中国的研究伙伴对中国入世前和入世后面临挑战的相关研究成果。随着这些课程的发表,我们希望能够提高中国政策制定者、企业家以及所有关心人士对中国入世后的潜在机会以及挑战的认知;加深大家对中国逐渐融入全球一体化影响的理解;加强为应对这些挑战的能力培养,并帮助中国寻找应对潜在的也可能是痛苦的适应的对策。
