This book discusses the most recent developments in the WTO regime. Issues such as E-commerce, security exception clause, China’s compliance with the WTO obligations, sustainability development, IP protection in FTZs, trade controls and etc., are at the forefront of WTO studies. These issues strongly influence people’s understanding of the current role of WTO and provides possible way to revitalize the function of WTO. Meanwhile, as the world’s second largest economy, the world’s largest trading nation and the holder of the world’s largest foreign exchange reserves, China is apparently a powerful figure in leading these issues. Therefore, this book explores extensively these issues from a Chinese perspective to see what China could do to reboost the world trade.
