The Institute of the Chinese Economy
and WTO Studies was established at Peking University
by Professor Li Yining, one of China’s most prominent
economists and policymakers. The Institute is housed
within Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management,
a leading business school in China, giving it access
to excellent intellectual resources and high-level official
and academic networks. The Institute hosts some of China’s
top economists, and periodically stages WTO forums which
attract the best business leaders, international trade
policy officials and experts from China and around the
world.
Our mission is to help build China’s
capacity both to maximise the benefits of its WTO membership
by contributing proactively, and also manage the implications
of its WTO accession commitments. The Institute maintains
close links with the WTO secretariat, the United Nations
Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
(UNESCAP), and other international organizations, as
well as some important Chinese government agencies and
some Chinese regional governments such as Department
of Commerce and Department of Agriculture, Shenzhen
Peoples’ Government. The Institute also works closely
with key international business chambers, including
the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, the American Chamber
of Commerce – PRC, and the US China Business Council.
The Institute regularly conducts WTO
related workshops and high level conferences for Chinese
and foreign trade officials and scholars. These aim
to help China participate more productively in WTO committees
and dispute resolution mechanisms, and more persuasively
contribute to the Doha Development Round negotiations.
The Institute also provides analysis on the domestic
economic impacts of China’s accession to the WTO, and
examines the domestic and international implications
of rapid transformation in developing economies.

becoming an important economic power in the world;
but we will never forget that what China has achieved
so far, and what it will achieve, depends on its
economic cooperation with other countries.” |
