China Publishes Chinese Version of Agreements on Its WTO Entry Online

China released the Chinese version of all legal documents on its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Wednesday on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation (MOFTEC).

The Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress ( NPC) and the State Council will formally present the Chinese version at a later date, said a MOFTEC spokesman Wednesday.

MOFTEC published the full English text of legal documents concerning China's accession to the WTO on its website on December 10.

A guide book and bilingual version of the legal documents will also be published after the Chinese full text version is formally presented.

Following is the compilation of the legal instruments on China's accession to the World Trade Organization.
