In addition to exploring definitions of China's role in globalization and trade relationship with the U.S., this panel will assess the impacts of China's entry into the WTO and its emerging economic dominance in the East Asian region. What new trade policies have been or will be drawn up by each country to accommodate and/or effect changes brought about by China's WTO entry? What changes to U.S. economic and business policy can be expected in light of China's becoming Asia's premier economic power? How are China's and America's trade policies towards each other influenced by their policies towards other global economic powers such as the ASEAN bloc and the EU?
