Recent developments in rural enterprise reform in China: achievements, problems and prospects
Article Abstract:
Rural enterprises make a significant contribution to the national economy in China. However, during the first semester of 1997, the growth rate as well as the gross output from these enterprises started to decline markedly. The two commonly cited reasons for this decline are tight credit and ownership problems. The national government has responded by instituting reforms on ownership issues. These reforms as well as other developments in rural enterprises in China are evaluated.

China and the World Trade Organization: can the assimilation problems be overcome?
Article Abstract:
The entry of China to the World Trade Organization (WTO) is likely to be delayed for another year because the financial turmoil sweeping Asia raises concerns regarding China's economic stability. Even if China does become a member of the WTO, the international community will likely discover that China will be very slow in adopting the terms of the membership agreement. The reasons for China's nonconformist attitude are discussed.
