China's Accession to the World Trade Organization, Policy Reform, and Poverty Reduction: An Introduction
本文是世界银行与中国国务院发展研究中心合作项目的导论，介绍五篇研究如何评估中国入世相关改革对贫困的影响，尤其关注农村地区。
China's accession to the World \n Trade Organization (WTO) was a watershed event for both \n China and the WTO. After 30 years of effective isolation \n from the world economy, and close to a quarter century of \n autonomous reforms, China joined the legal framework of the \n world trading system. In doing so China made an \n extraordinarily wide-ranging set of commitments to reform of \n its own legal and administrative system and to \n thorough-going liberalization of trade in goods and \n services. This issue contains five studies from a major \n project undertaken by the World Bank and the Development \n Research Centre of China's State Council. A key \n objective of the studies was to assess the impact of the \n reforms associated with WTO accession on poverty in China, \n particularly in rural areas, which now lag so badly behind \n urban areas.
