December 11,2011 is the tenth anniversary of China's accession to the WTO.CCTV invited Wang Lei,a lawyer from our institute,and another American economist to interview them,and broadcast them on the English Channel Dialogue program that night.As a negotiator at that time,Lawyer Wang pointed out that the decade of China's accession to the WTO has been the fastest and most positive one in recent decades.During this decade,China's national strength has increased,people's living standards have improved,trade strength has greatly increased,and the rule of law has been more respected,all of which are significant progress;At the same time,China still has a long way to go to make the country prosperous and the people strong.Regarding trade protectionism,Lawyer Wang believes that China's trade growth mainly stems from comparative advantage,rather than so-called unfair competition.Some countries do not recognize this comparative advantage,but instead resort to protectionism unilaterally,which not only hinders trade with China,but also fails to solve the difficulties of domestic industries.
