Since its opening to the world in 1978, China has grown in excess of 9 percent and is now generally considered to be the third biggest economy in the world. It is aggressively pursuing admission to the World Trade Organization (WTO), but the United States remains at cross‐purposes due to the closed nature of its markets and numerous violations of international agreements. In an effort to shed light on these issues, this article reviews the historical context, recent economic reforms, and challenges to deeper global integration in the post‐Deng era. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
