     How can more “Made in the U.S.A.”goods get into store shelves in China?
    Under current trade
    restrictions,imports from the United States have barely flowed into that nation.
    However,imports will flood
    in,if China,the largest emerging market in Asia,joins the World Trade Organization.
    Although U.S. exports to
    China have increased over the past decade,the yearly total is still only about $ 12
    billion,a tiny piece of all
    U.S. exports.Meanwhile,the United States has been a very good market for China’
    s goods:U.S.imports about
    $50 billion worth of goods from China every year,up from roughly $10 billion worth
    of yearly imports just a
    decade ago.
    If China joins the WTO,the level of U.S. exports to China will skyrocket because
    high tariffs and
    various other trade restrictions will be removed.Today tariffs on imports into China
    range as high as 120
    percent.As part of its bid for WTO membership,China has agreed to cut the average
    tariff rate to 15 percent
    by the year 2000.In addition,WTO membership would put trade with China under
    a more standardized legal
    framework,giving exporters and importers alike more consistent treatment.
