DECEMBER 2o16 marks the first anniversary of China's major free trade agreements (FTAs) with South Korea and Australia. So far China has signed 14 free trade paets with 22 countries and regions in Asia, Latin America, Oceania, and Europe. The rise of protectionist rhetoric in some countries has made China the largest economy that unequivocally supports progress towards free trade. It is consequently crucial to analyze both the fundamental issues involved, that is, the most powerful forces driving the process of globalization, and the immediate practical consequences for China of pushing for FTAs.
