Opis

China is increasingly influenced by international affairs, especially since its entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001. Despite this, domestic reforms remain a priority, and as China adapts its economic structure to these ongoing reforms, there are significant social and political consequences. These issues are analysed in this text.
