| Summary: | Since becoming a member of the World Trade Organization, China embarked on sever-al commitments to become a key player on the international economic stage. This pa-per is a case study of China’s membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the implications on Chinese sovereignty. Theorizing China’s historical evolution amid concerns of sovereignty, the paper looks at China’s Regime Commitment and Compli-ance in the WTO, major Compliance and Commitment Concerns with China in the Or-ganization. China may have complied with some of its commitments particularly in the service area. The paper distinctively concludes that China’s membership of the organi-zation has forced it to share power with other actor whilst protecting the interest of its citizens on the global stage. |
