The 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization on December 11 has once again highlighted long-standing debates about how well China has lived up to its WTO obligations, and whether any deviation from its commitments boosts or slows its economic growth.

The seemingly stagnant review of U.S. official policy on trade with China has driven business leaders stateside to start issuing demands to the Biden administration for clarity and an end to the economic constraints of the trade war.
