Question 17. When China became a member of the World Trade Organisation? Answer
China became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 11 December 2001,[1] after the agreement of the Ministerial Conference.[2] The admission of China to the WTO was preceded by a lengthy process of negotiations and required significant changes to the Chinese economy. China's membership in the WTO has been contentious, with substantial economic and political effects on other countries (some times referred to as the China shock), and controversies over the mismatch between the WTO framework and China's economic model.
11 December 2001:- China acceded to the WTO on 11 December 2001, becoming its 143rd member, following 15 years of accession negotiations.
