Why tariff-free trade the priority in China’s push for WTO reforms #CGTN

Ways to reform the World Trade Organization as an effective arbiter of the global flow of goods can make a big difference in the future of multilateral rules-based trade. What are the priority issues and ways forward? That’s up for discussion with a panel at the 8th Hongqiao International Economic Forum of this year’s China International Import Expo in Shanghai. On the panel: Yi Xiaozhun, the former Chinese vice minister of commerce; Alejandro Jara, the former ambassador of Chile to the WTO; and Lu Xiankun, the founder of the Geneva-based Friends of Multilateralism Group.
