China joined the WTO in order to be eligible for lower tariff (import tax) rates from the other WTO member countries (most other countries, including all of the industrialized nations). As a non-member, their exports were subject to much higher tariff rates, some of them prohibitive. By joining, it made their exports less costly.
Not all member countries were happy about China's joining, but they felt China's
predatory nature could be more easily controlled by granting WTO membership than by keeping them out.

How has china influenced tools and technology and art evolved over time and how it was influenced?
From 1980s on, policies and regulations in telecommunications have had enormous change. International organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) are believed to have played an important role in promoting the deregulatory rationale and in government’s policymaking process. Legally binding rules of the WTO should have influenced the member countries’ domestic telecommunications industry and policies. However, questions arise when we assess the effect of an international regime, such as the WTO, on domestic development and policy choices as well as the implementation of the rules and principles of the regimes. Institutions and institutional enforcement in individual member countries become important factors in determining if the country actively embraces the rules or operates in a way that effectively constitutes non-tariff barriers to competitors. The accession of China to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in December 2001 marks an important milestone in the telecommunications regulatory and industrial structure reform in China. With the accession to the WTO, the highly protected sector has opened to foreign competitors. Drawing upon new institutionalism and international regime theory, this paper studies the telecommunications policy reform in the context of China’s unique political and social culture. The authors suggest that China’s accession to the WTO have exerted (and will do so) an effect on China’s telecommunications policy and to a certain degree re-shaped the sector and the regulatory institutions. However, the study also suggests that the impact will vary and will depend on the institutional endowment of the country, the institutional political culture in the country, and if powerful and effective institutional barriers prevent China from fully enforcing its WTO agreements. The paper concludes that while joining the WTO may have an impact on China’s telecommunications sector, it will have a limited impact given its internal constraints, which can be accounted for with new institutionalism and international regime theory.
