The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an internatinal organization which ad- niinistrates the trade policies among different countries and regions, and is the legislative and organizational foundation of multilateral trade system. China has been applying for entering WTO, since 1986, and after the enormous efforts of 13 years, China and the United States have concluded the bilateral agreement on China entering WTO on Noven- her 15, 1999, which cleared away the largest impediment to WTO Such means that with the economic globalization, Chinese economy would be integrated into international eco- nomic development in a large extent. Entering WfO would bring China not only unprec- edented opportunities but also rigorous challenges. The thesis tries to produce references and enlightenments for China entering WTO, through the analysis of Japanese policy regulation on foreign trade prior to and after entering WTO. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part introduces Japanese policy regulation and evolution on the foreign trade prior to and after entering WFO. The. fun- damental target of Japanese foreign trade policy in this period is to urge export and limit import. That is to guarantee proper import and promote the export. The second part analysis the merits of the Japanese foreign trade policies prior to and after entering WTO. It analyses its successful practices including the followings: a full government function of macro regulation and administration protecting the domestic market under the open policy ; pursueing a policy of industry ?fostering and constructional readjustment; emphasizing the import of technology as well as the trade of technology. The third part analyses the development of the Chinese foreign trade and the circumstances it faces, and furtherly proposes the fundamental strategy of the readjustment of our country?s for- eign trade policy, through the analysis of Japanese practice: that is to take effective mea- sures to promote export and to protect properly the fragile industries from the present; to foster the rising industries energeticly and gradually liberalize the industries.
