From CPT/CIBT’s June 7, 2000 release: As China is poised to enter the World Trade Organization later this year, the demand for educated individuals with western-based skills and business training within China is expected to increase dramatically. The Chinese market of 1.2 billion people presents tremendous opportunities for those businesses who are well positioned to service this market. I was checking Yahoo for updates and it appear that the WTO is moving ahead rapidly. This new US listing for CIBT will be perfect timing for the company to benefit from all the investment hype that will surround China’s final passage into the WTO. China Sees 'Final Stage' of Bid to Join WTO By Robert Evans GENEVA (Reuters) - China's chief negotiator on entry to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Long Yongtu, said on Monday his country's 14-year effort to join the body was this week moving into its final stage. And he told reporters during a meeting between officials from the WTO's currently 137 member states and a large Chinese delegation that Beijing would be ``very soon'' presenting an action plan on how it would implement an admission accord. ``We are coming to the final stage of the multilateral process,'' said Long, vice minister for Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Monday's meeting was the first informal session of a week of high-pressure discussions in the WTO working party overseeing the Chinese accession negotiations aimed at pushing the process ahead after key diplomatic hurdles had been cleared. Last month China completed the one major outstanding bilateral accord, with the European Union, and the United States House of Representatives effectively endorsed Washington's agreement with Beijing concluded last October. Long and WTO diplomats said a main focus of this week's discussions -- to be wrapped up with a formal meeting of the working party Friday -- would be to incorporate these pacts into a final ``protocol of accession.'' Under WTO rules, countries in the body or joining it have to extend the same level of market access to all other members, which means the terms China agreed with the United States and the EU have to be ``multilateralised'' in the protocol.
