As China becomes more fully integrated with the global economy by participating in the WTO, the impact of its policies and activities on the economies of other countries grows. Conversely, the Chinese economy is increasingly influenced by international developments and the actions of other countries. It is, therefore, important to come to an understanding of the influence China may have on international trade and policy-making.
Findings from game theory, the systems friction literature, and trade intensity analysis point at some directions and areas in which China as a WTO member could be expected to influence international trade and policy making in agriculture.
Overall, with China as a member, the WTO and its members would be expected to face increasing complexity in working towards WTO objectives. But having China as a member could also be helpful in resolving complex issues. The issues arising in relation to agriculture may be as complex as any and will be particularly important to China where agriculture remains the lifeblood of the economy. There is reason to think that addressing these issues in the WTO will be more fruitful than having to face them without the constructive influence of the WTO as an intermediary.
