CECC
Announcement of Hearing in the US Congress: "Ten Years in the WTO: Has
China Kept Its Promises", Wei Jingsheng to Testify
Representative
Christopher Smith, Chairman and Senator Sherrod Brown, Cochairman
of
the Congressional-Executive Commission on China announce a hearing on "Ten
Years in the WTO: Has China Kept Its Promises"
Tuesday,
December 13, 2011, 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
2212
Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC
Ten
years ago, on December 11, 2001, China officially joined the World Trade
Organization. China's entry into the WTO ushered in a new era in its
relationship with the United States and the rest of the world. China made
numerous promises to reduce trade barriers, open up markets, increase
transparency, protect intellectual property rights, and reform its legal system
to make it consistent with WTO requirements. Policymakers hoped at the time
that China's WTO membership would lead to advances in the broader development
of the rule of law as well. Has China kept its promises and played by the
rules? What impact has WTO membership had on the development of the rule of law
in China? Has WTO membership leveled the economic playing field as many had
hoped?
This
hearing will be webcast.

美国国会及行政当局中国委员会“中国加入世贸组织十年来有否保持其承诺？”的公告，魏京生将在听证会上作证
美国国会及行政当局中国委员会的主席史密斯(Chris Smith)众议员与共同主席布朗(Sherrod Brown)参议员宣布就“中国加入世贸组织十年来有否保持其承诺？”为题举行听证会
时间：周二，2011年12月13日，下午2：30至4：00
地点：美国首都华盛顿的国会Rayburn大楼2212号房间
10年前的2001年12月11日，中国正式加入世界贸易组织，从而迎来了它与美国及世界上其它地区之间关系的一个新时代。中国作出过多项承诺，来减少贸易壁垒、开拓市场、增加透明度、保护知识产权，及改革其法律制度，以使其符合WTO的要求。当时的决策者希望中国加入世贸组织将导致其法治上更广泛的发展。中国是否保持其承诺并依法办事？它的世贸组织成员身份对中国的法治发展有什么影响？它的世贸组织成员身份有没有像许多人希望的那样开拓了经济上的公平竞争？
这个听证会将进行网上直播。
证人：
第一小组：
里德(Claire Reade)，美国贸易代表办公室处对中国事务的美国助理贸易代表
第二小组：
阿尔多纳斯（Grant D. Aldonas），Split Rock国际贸易首席常务董事，前商务部副部长（2001-2005年）
普拉斯（Alan H. Price），Wiley Rein律师事务所的合作伙伴及国际贸易主席
普雷斯托维茨（Clyde V. Prestowitz, Jr.），经济战略研究所创始人及主席
