In the year 2000, China's exports had grown drastically from $250 billion by 2009 to a projected $1,500 billion in 2009. This tremendous growth of exports badly damaged competing businesses in the advanced countries, especially Europe and America.
This case analyzes each set of trade disputes and China's attempts to solve them. Many dispute were entrenched in cultural practice and ideological positions and so they might not vanish quickly. Shortcomings in the legal and judicial system of China hampered enforcement. Additionally, many rested on the government's desire to protect their employees and the interests of Chinese companies, and so China might change its practices only if confronted with credible retalitory dangers. China's central government experienced the "principal-agent" problem where its wishes and conclusions could be ignored by local governments and firms. Changes in business structure within the sophisticated countries were changing the discussion positions of Western authorities. The case analyzes the WTO dispute resolution procedures and enforcement mechanisms which have been directed at China's trade disputes.
