Tiger by the Tail

"In this book Mark Groombridge and Claude Barfield focus on fundamental economic issues that need resolution before China can become a respected member of the WTO. The events of the spring of 1999 bolster their argument that the real challenges involve China's "transparency" problem: the need to create a legal and administrative apparatus to facilitate the resolution of international commercial disputes.

Noble intentions and high-sounding promises will not ensure successful Chinese membership in the WTO - if they are not bolstered by essential domestic reforms in China."--BOOK JACKET.
