On November 10, 2001, the fourth minister-level session of the World Trade Organization (WTO) approved china to join WTO. The WTO rules; stipulated for all its members, aim at restraining the member state's acts. But what it actually restrains is the government acts of each of its member states. Therefore, the greatest challenge of joining WTO is the challenge to government, and then the most positive measure is to accelerate the transformation of government functions. This thesis tries to analyze the relationship between WTO and the governments of its member states and the problems and disadvantages in our government functions and study how our government transfers its functions to meet the challenge of WTO according to some rules and contents of WTO.The thesis contains 3 parts and nearly 30,000 words.Pan I states what the principles and agreements mainly adjust is the relationship between the governments of its member states and shows the necessity to research the transformation of government functions after the accession to WTO.1. From the legal point of view, the government of its member state is the subject of international legal rights and duties. It's the government rather than the sovereign state or even every enterprise that gets the membership. What WTO rules restraint is mainly the government's acts, aiming at limiting the power of government's intervening market and lowering the government's power to make unequal trade.2. From the point of view of WTO's purpose, the purpose of WTO is in consistent with that of its member state. Whether it is GAIT or WTO, their appearance and development reflect each state's basic wish to accelerate their own country's economic development and advance the international economic cooperation.3. From the point of view of the way that WTO rules came into being, WTO is an ever-lasting discussion forum, providing an important stage in the international economic relations for every government to reflect its own country's .request, to safeguard its own benefit, to coordinate its relationship with other countries and to solve international economic and trade disputes. WTO rules and agreements are produced by government's mutual concession and coordination.As a result, the accession to WTO should begin by government' accession to WTO. To study how the government meets the challenge of WTO is our major task after the accession to WTO.Part n analyzes carefully the present situation of our government and studies several top problems by referring to the basic rules, agreement and working system of WTO.1. Main problems in legal system: rule of men is more important than rule of law; the economic legal system is not sound; the transparency and foresight of the laws and regulations are poor; the unity, the stability and the continuity are not enough, and so on.2. Problems in the government functions: there are too many planned economic functions and too much intervention in micro-economy; the local close administration and local protectionism are too serious.3. Problems in government organizations: the government is too much concerned about too much things even those beyond its own power; it set up too many organizations that should not be set up which make the government organization too cumbersome; the organization's setting lacks legal restraint; chief executive acts completely at his own will; the organizations was set up unnecessarily at every level; there are too many government personnel.4. Problems in the quality of the civil servants: the civil servant' quality is generally low, they are not energetic, they have a biased value orientation and deep-rooted ideas about official standard; the system of survival of the fittest has not been formed.Part HI indicates that after the accession to WTO, the government must arrange efficiently the governments of all levels to accelerate sweeping innovations of the government system, and construct modern government system to adapt to the WTO's request in ideas, structures and working methods.
