China’s Member Status in WTO Dispute Settlement Practices

The legal subject is the bearer of rights and obligations. Different rights and obligations of the same legal system distinguish subjects with different legal statuses. Equal subject status is the main keynote of the WTO system. However, its main body settings are diversified and intricate, which are determined by a large number of member structures with huge differences in the level of economic development, the status of economic systems and the process of the construction of the rule of law. Therefore, whether for the WTO itself or for each member, the basic premise of the implementation of rules and protection of interests is to classify the subject categories and give accurate positioning.
