16、 Bargaining under the WTO Regime Save the consultation and bargaining time: e.g. On the cases of Chinas preferential VAT rate for domestically produced ICs (DS 309); the measures China imposed on foreign financial information services and services suppliers (DS 373) were resolved “out-of-court” with

17、in 4 months even without establishing a panel as China agreed to amend the measures. 2. Disputes resolved without exchanging conditions as before: e.g. (before) MFN linked with human rights issues(after) Trade issues do not need to be “politicised”3. To ensure the realisation of states commitment: W

18、TO is a long-term and iterative game, “the shadow of the future” can be lengthened; there will be no commitment problems. e.g. on the case of US steel safeguard measures (DS 252), although America was unsatisfied with the panel report, and appealed to the Appellate Body, it eventually accepted the d

19、ecision of the DSB and promised to terminate all of the relative safeguard measures. the game is repeated, if China and the United States want to play it, they will eventually choose to cooperate. 4. Trade Policy Reviews Mechanism (TPRM): WTO helps to monitor and supervise states behaviour and trade

20、 practices: e.g. Press released by the WTO (June 2008):The United States has taken further steps to liberalise its trade regime since its previous review in 2006. 5.

21、. On the case of restricting foreign financial information services and service suppliers (DS 373), China released information by the WTO expressing its will to revise the measures and reached an agreement with the United States.Conclusion-Since China joined the WTO, although the WTO could not help

22、the United States to decrease its deficits with China, it did promote US-China trade relations by resolving their trade frictions. -Many disputes such as US steel safeguard measures, Chinas VAT refunds on ICs or its charges on imported automobile parts have been resolved successfully. -Although some

23、 complicated disputes may take time to be resolved, or China may need time to revise its trade practices, a healthier trade environment in China can be expected since Chinas entry into WTO. -This therefore helps to stablise international trade environment, that is, the world needs China, and vise ve
