Abstract

[All the China’s FTAs in force have been concluded after its entry into the WTO, and the obvious influence of the WTO agreements can be found in the setting of their framework, language and concrete provisions. In the past two decades, the model rules provided by the WTO, the proactive commitment to openness advocated, and the deepening political and economic links with partnership countries have all had a substantial positive impact on the development of China's FTAs. In general, China is not the fastest among Asian countries to negotiate and conclude FTAs, but it has made a big leap in the past decade. After 2010, China began to accelerate the implementation of its Free Trade Area Strategy and planned to establish a global FTA network, which is in line with the reality that China is deeply embedded in the global production network. However, China’s FTAs in recent years have still not had the features of strategic trade policy, but have developed over the basis of the WTO rule system.]
