Preface
The purpose of this book is to make proposals to the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules to address the problem of granting advantages to state-owned enterprises (SOEs). SOEs tend to receive various advantages, including financial advantages, monopolies and exclusive rights, regulatory advantages, and so on, leading to economic concerns. The problem is typical in the context of China. However, current WTO rules are not sufficient to address the problem of SOEs receiving various advantages. The book makes recommendations to improve them. It makes three types of proposals, i.e., trade remedy proposals, trade rule proposals, and competition rule proposals. It assesses these proposals in terms of the possibility of implementing them, particularly the political willingness of WTO members to accept these proposals. Lastly, the book lays out the framework for the competition rule proposals. Beijing, China
