从中美出版物案看中国几世对中国外商投资法律制度的影响

Implications of China’s WTO Accession on Its Legal Regime for Foreign Investment from the Perspective of China-Publications Case

中美出版物案中,中国有关出版物进口和经销的相关法规被WTO争端解决机构裁决违反了相关WTO规则及中国入世承诺。虽然中国为应对入世已经修改了外商投资法律制度,但本案表明,中国政府对于中国外商投资法律制度受到国际义务限制的范围和程度还缺乏充分的、深入的认识,在具体做法方面还存在欠妥之处,因而有必要进行进一步的清理与调整。

China’s legislations on publications import and distribution were ruled by WTO Dispute Settlement Body being in conflict with the WTO rules and China’s Comittments in China-Publications Case.Although China has amended its legal regime for foreign investment,China-Publications Case indicates that China’s has not to the full extent understand the implications of international obligations imposed upon it and some WTO-inconsistent measures are still adopted or maintained,which need to be amended.
