“…China's implementation speaks against the widespread concerns about the potential difficulties of challenging Chinese subsidies due to a lack of transparency. On the contrary, most Chinese industrial subsidies take the typical forms contemplated in the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM), and it is possible for WTO Members to use the existing rules and the DSS to push China to remove or reduce these subsidies that harm their interests (Zhou and Fang, 2021). In addition, one must consider the numerous AD and CVD actions against Chinese exports, which are frequently used to address the Chinese government's intervention in the market including through subsidies (Nedumpara and Zhou, 2018).…”

“…Here, while there is a longstanding and ongoing debate about the AB's 'authority-based' test for determining whether a granting entity constitutes a 'public body', this test did not prevent investigating authorities from finding Chinese state banks, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and state-invested enterprises (SIEs) as public bodies (Appellate Body Report, 2011, 2019). In addition, China's WTO-plus obligations under Section 15(b) of the Accession Protocol provide wide latitude for authorities to apply countervailing measures to address the negative effects of Chinese subsidies (Zhou and Fang, 2021).…”

Examining the twenty years since China acceded to the World Trade Organization, this collection provides an original, systematic assessment of the opportunities and challenges that China has presented to the WTO. Offering in-depth analyses of the 'two-way' relationship between China and the WTO, the contributions explore a range of key issues from the varied effects of WTO membership for China and the global economy to the responses of the WTO members to China's rapid economic growth. It presents diverse perspectives of leading scholars from multiple disciplines, including law, economics, political science, and international relations, as well as practical insights from senior policymakers from both China and the United States. This is an invaluable contribution to ongoing debates about the implications of the rise of China for global economic governance and enriches discussions of the wide-ranging implications of China's growing integration into the multilateral trading system, both now and in the future.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive overview of green innovation (GI) in China, which is carried out by reviewing the evolution of GI from 2000 to 2019, and the main type of technology, actors and localizations. When appropriate, GI is compared to non-GI.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses patent data from the European Patent Office database (PATSTAT); these data are processed to map trends and identify the main contributors to GI and the location of such innovation. The findings are then discussed and complemented with academic literature.FindingsKey findings reveal an increasing divergence between GI and nongreen innovation after the 2008 crisis. It is also observed that solar energy appears to be the main component of GI in China, with a shift from photovoltaic thermal energy to solar photovoltaic energy after 2008. Other areas, such as waste management, greenhouse gases capture and climate change adaptation, are less innovative. Companies play an essential role in the development of all types of innovation. In terms of location, green patents are mainly filed in China’s three main megacities. The study also highlights the significant role of the Chinese state, which led policies shaping the trajectories and forms of GI.Originality/valueThis study expands knowledge on GI in China, highlighting its main specificities and the role of key actors. It provides to the reader a comprehensive picture of China’s green policies and innovation realities. The results can therefore be used to improve the understanding of GI evolution in China and facilitate the formulation of new research questions.
