China has been within WTO for ten years since its accession in 2001. Ten years experience with WTO has been a process of learning, for China to learn to use the WTO rules to safeguard its own industrial/export interests, and learn how to deal with political pressure from major trading partners like the US.The WTO accession has greatly transformed Chinese society. Though the state remains powerful, it has become a public service provider, to serve the interests of domestic industries and exporters. On the other hand, China has become increasingly a diversified society, fragmented in perceiving China's WTO accession and international economic system.In this context of great transformation, Chinese have developed a contradictory self-image about itself and the outside world: a strong power and a vulnerable country; a beneficiary and victim of international trading system; a defender and a critic of the international system.The most important lesson China has learned from the impact of the global financial crisis, is this one: as Chinese economy has become inseparable part of the global economy, China doesn't have the other choice except continuing to work with WTO and rely on the WTO rules to protect itself.China's experience of learning in the past ten years since the WTO accession has profound implication to the role of China in global governance and the future of global governance. It is clearly the consideration of the growing practical interests which would continue to make Chinese decision makers and the public to work with and would make great efforts to strengthen the multilateral trading system and contribute more to the international public good, though sometimes it would be reluctant to do.
