Abstract
This paper examines the impact of WTO entry on the change of China's industrial structure. It first investigates the pre-entry structure from both perspectives of changing role of the state and the scale economic characteristics. Post-entry systemic and resource re-allocation effects are then analyzed. Emphasis of the analyses is placed on major industries that are currently highly concentrated with nearly exclusive ownership by the state and on the sectors in which rapid entry by the non-state owned enterprises have taken place. Case studies are provided where more detailed data are available.
