Abstract
This chapter describes the development of China’s changing orientation to globalization and its concomitant evolving interests. It specifically analyzes shifts in interests and policy expressions such as laws and regulations to detail shifts in the Chinese state’s approach to guiding its globalization course. Most of the account focuses on central policies and debates about how to harness foreign investors’ contributions in China to meet policy makers’ goals. Additionally, China’s grand strategic goal of becoming an international power led it to push for World Trade Organization (WTO) membership and to join other multilateral organizations, which, in turn, gave China a set of guideposts for their institutional reforms, including how to open their economy to trade and investment. Domestic leaders and their strategies worked in tandem with foreign ideas and actors to alter the course of China’s open-door policy.
