Abstract

. This paper examines the implications of China's WTO accession for its domestic regional liberalization. We find first that, without WTO membership, regional liberalization might create a trade diversion that benefited only low‐protection regions while harming high‐protection regions, and it might or might not benefit the country as a whole. Second, we find that WTO entry will benefit the whole country, whether there is regional liberalization or not. Third, we find that WTO entry will facilitate domestic regional liberalization.
