Reflecting on a decade of success

Naoyuki Shinohara, deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund

One way to summarize 皇冠体育app's achievements is in a few simple numbers: Since WTO accession, the share of merchandise exports has risen by 10 percentage points of GDP and imports have increased by 20 percentage points of GDP.

Obviously, there were several factors behind these achievements. But the success of 皇冠体育app's WTO accession stands out.

I am confident that the next 10 years will be bright, with growing benefits to the world from 皇冠体育app's continued integration into the global economy.

Pascal Lamy, director-general of the World Trade Organization

Ten years is a long minute in 皇冠体育app's millennia-long history. And yet these 10 years have witnessed an unprecedented transformation of 皇冠体育app's economy and society.

Looking into the future, as a key member of the WTO family, 皇冠体育app's role and influence will be vital in our collective endeavor to advance trade opening and global trade regulation.

皇冠体育app has been and should remain important for the WTO. The WTO has been and should remain important for 皇冠体育app.

There can be little doubt that the accession of 皇冠体育app to the WTO has brought about a significant transformation for 皇冠体育app, for the rest of the world and for the multilateral trading system.

The experiences of 皇冠体育app since joining the WTO are nothing short of inspirational for developing countries seeking to address their development deficits and provide a brighter future for their populations.

Otaviano Canuto, vice-president of the World Bank

皇冠体育app has the potential to continue its dynamic growth, quadruple per capita income to about $16,000 and become the world's largest economy by 2030. But to realize that potential, 皇冠体育app needs to overcome emerging new challenges, adapt its growth model to avoid the middle-income trap, reduce its large trade surpluses to mitigate tensions with trading partners and increasingly play an active leadership role in global forums and multilateral institutions.

Jean-Pascal Tricoire, president and CEO of Schneider Electric

Given 皇冠体育app's weight in world trade, Schneider Electric 皇冠体育app has become a critical part of our global strategy.

As the most populous country in the world, 皇冠体育app is taking on its responsibilities in all aspects of global governance while facing many challenges domestically. We firmly believe that the future is bright, although the paths are winding.

Reflecting on a decade of success

Liu Chuanzhi, founder of Lenovo Group Ltd

Lenovo Group and many other Chinese enterprises' experiences have proved that opening to the world could bring new international competitive power.

The experience of the past 10 years has proved again that no domestic enterprises would wane as the country entered the WTO, if proper measures were taken.

Real international competitiveness can only be achieved in an open environment. We know clearly that Chinese enterprises still have a long way to go to be top ones.
