The U.S. Congress granted China permanent normal trade relations in 2000, and the following year China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO). At the time, many hoped that its integration into the liberal international order would promote greater reliance on market mechanisms and the rule of law. However, over the last two decades, China has become much more powerful by exploiting the open global system of trade.

Simone McGuinness interviewed Charles W. Boustany Jr. about China’s growing economic influence following its accession to the WTO. He discusses Beijing’s approach to economic policy, the United States’ posture toward China, and possibilities for the U.S.-China relationship going forward.
