These are members of the WTO, including France, (French Republic).

Of course, France is a member of the WTO!

A total of 164 countries in the world have joined the WTO.

Since January 1, 1995, since the establishment of the World Organization, 164 countries have joined the World Organization, among which the important member countries and the time of accession are as follows:

WTO China joined in 2001.

The World Organization, abbreviated as the World Trade Organization (WTO), is a permanent international organization independent of the United Nations. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the current General Council President is Ambassador Ngoziokonjo-Iweala.

The function of the world's leading organizations is to mediate disputes, and joining the WTO is not considered to be the signing of a multilateral agreement. It is the organizational and legal basis of the system, the administrator of many agreements, the overseer of the legislation of the members, and the venue for resolving disputes and conducting negotiations.

The organization is one of the most important international economic organizations in contemporary times, and its members account for the vast majority of the world's troubled countries, so it is called "the old country of economic unity".

Organizational situation:

The predecessor of this organization was the General Agreement on Tariffs and ** signed on October 30, 1947; On January 1, 1995, the world's first organization officially began to operate; On January 1, 1996, the World Organization officially replaced the GATT Provisional Institutions.

On December 11, 2001, China officially joined the World Organization. On August 30, 2003, the WTO General Council unanimously adopted the Final Document on the Implementation of the Compulsory Licensing System for Patented Medicines.

As of May 2020, the world** organization has 164 members and 24 observers. On March 21, 2022, members of the Russian political party Justice Russia submitted to the Russian State Duma (the lower house of the Russian Federation) a draft law on Russia's withdrawal from the World Organization.

Social events. China's accession to the WTO refers to the social event of China's formal accession to the WTO on December 11, 2001. The World Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Organization are listed as one of the three most extensive international economic organizations in the world today.

Its main functions are as follows: formulating international economic and trade rules and supervising their implementation, organizing members to conduct open market negotiations, and establishing a dispute settlement mechanism among members. Hence the name "Economic United Nations".

Since the mid-80s of the 20th century, whether or not to join the multilateral system based on the GATT and the WTO has become an important criterion for judging whether a country has responsibly joined the international community and whether its economy is in line with the world economy. At present, the 142 members of the WTO account for 95% of the world's total investment, and 80% of the world's total transnational investment. Gaining a seat at the WTO is equivalent to gaining many passports to the international market.

China needs the WTO. Comrades have long pointed out that "China's development cannot be separated from the world" and "it is impossible to engage in construction behind closed doors."

The benefits and risks of economic globalization are not equal to those of developed and developing countries. However, if developing countries do not want to fall behind and do not want to be beaten passively for a long time, they must take advantage of the trend and actively integrate into economic globalization. [2]

Since the beginning of reform and opening up, especially since the establishment of the socialist market economic system in 1992, China's economic strength has been markedly enhanced, and it has been able to participate in the international division of labor and competition in many fields. However, due to its long-term exclusion from the world's multilateral system, China has had to rely mainly on bilateral consultations and agreements to coordinate its foreign and economic relations, resulting in many discriminatory or unfair treatment of domestic enterprises and products when entering the international market. After joining the WTO, China will not only have the right to share in the fruits of economic globalization, but will also be able to participate in the formulation of relevant rules of the game, take the initiative to establish a new international economic order, and use the WTO dispute settlement mechanism to occupy an advantageous position in the international war.

At the same time, the WTO needs China. As the largest developing country in the world, China has more than 1 5 of the world's population. The total economic output and the total value of imports and exports rank among the top in the world, and the absorption of foreign investment ranks first among developing countries for many years.

Among them, the amount with WTO members accounts for 90% of China's total foreign exports.

In fact, which of the three times is accurate, let me explain to you what will appear in the three times for the sake of the command and the song.

The first On November 10, 2001, the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the World Organization (WTO) deliberated and approved China's application for joining the World Trade Shed.

Second, on November 11, 2001, China signed the Protocol on Accession to the World Organization in Doha.

The third December 11, 2001 According to the rules of the World Organization (WTO), members can only enter into force one month after they are approved to join the WTO, and then they will become full members of the WTO.

So all three times are right, and each has its own reason!

However, it is still necessary to follow the officially confirmed date, which is the date on the textbook, which is the standard date for China's accession to the WTO!
