 China and the WTO

This page gathers key information on China's participation in the WTO. China has been a member of WTO since 11 December 2001.


The crappy part of China being a member of the WTO is that the both peg their currency on the US dollar and subsidize their fuel prices. This is what has given China an economic edge over the US. China needs to deregulate, however this would kill their economy. They know it and so does the rest of the world.

Interesting point to the people who don't think drilling will make a significant effect...looks like china, india and cuba will be drilling offshore near US waters.

Please urge your senators and representatives to allow us to drill.  We cannot handicap our citizens by refusing to tap our own resources (worse yet, we are allowing other countries to drill for our oil!)

"This is the irony of ironies," Charles T. Drevna, executive vice president of the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association, said of Cuba's collaboration with China and India. "We have chosen to lock up our resources and stand by to be spectators while these two come in and benefit from things right in our own backyard."
