As early as 1978 China abandoned its walledin policy and started a market economy. Eight years later, in 1986, China applied to rejoin WTO’ s predecessor, GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade).GATT was founded in 1948, and its old name had been used till 1995. Its headquarters is located in Geneva. By now there have been 135 member countries in GATT, and other 30 more countries and regions are seeking admission. If China can enter WTO in the near future, it will bee its No. 136 member nation. It is reported that China will officially join it on November 10, 2020. What effects will China’ s entry into WTO bring about? In principle, it can accelerate China’s reform of market economy. According to the calculations worked out by experts concerned, after China joins WTO, its GNP will automatically go up by %. That means there will be an increase of 200 billion Chinese dollars in its output value, and of several million more job chances. In addition, along with the improvement of investment environment, foreign businessmen will be treated as。
