WTO hails China's trade liberalization

China's trade regime has continued liberalizing since 2006, the World Trade Organization (WTO) said, expressing concerns about imbalances in and adjustments to the country's export policies.

The WTO Secretariat made the comments in a report following its second review of the country's trade policies and practices in Geneva on Wednesday.

"Structural reforms in China, including trade liberalization, have resulted in annual real GDP growth rates in excess of 10 percent over the past four years, rising per-capita income and poverty reduction," the secretariat said.
