10 years of trade barriers and remedies

Since China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) 10 years ago, it has seen not only an unprecedented growth in foreign trade, but also growing trade remedies and barriers.

From 1995-2010, 3,752 trade remedy cases were filed throughout the world, with 784 cases against China, or 20.9 percent of the total, WTO data shows.

However, from 1995 to 2000 when China was not a member of WTO, it accounted for about 10.5 percent to 19 percent of the total number of cases.
