And yet. ten years after China joined the World Trade Organization. it is impossible to overlook the consequences of this momentous decision on the global economy. Those present in

2001 will recall how difficult the negotiation process was. In fact. it was extraordinary that they even reached an agreement. The US benefited from the deal but it was far from being the biggest winner. China scooped the largest prize. In areas such as agricultural goods. trade liberalization was nothing short of dramatic.

2000 it was the world'

s seventh largest exporter and eighth largest importer of merchandise;

in

2010 it was number one and two. respectively. But. as America'
