The Great Unravelling: Trade and China

Could China break the World Trade Organisation?

China has been described as the greatest threat to the World Trade Organisation, and its biggest champion. The WTO wasn鈥檛 designed to handle China, and its entry has had seismic consequences. If China won鈥檛 change, can the WTO adapt? Without reform, could China break the WTO?
