Against some views presently prevalent in domestic and foreign academia, the author proposes a number of different opinions and suggestions for deliberation. China has been a WTO Member for 9 full years and  has entered the 10th since its accession. Chinese people ought to promptly summarize the experiences accumulated during the first 9 years, and to dialectically and scientifically dissect and estimate the status quo of WTO regime, its law-making, law-governing and law-enforcing, so as to improve their understanding and to guide their practice hereafter. China and the international weak groups shall not be limited only to “abide by” and “adapt to” current WTO laws. They also need to acquire proficiency in the  operation of WTO through practice, so that they can attain the goodness and avoid the harmfulness at its maximum. Meanwhile, they shall also through practice distinguish truth from falsehood, right from wrong, and thoroughly probe into varied provisions and “rules of the game” which are obviously disadvantageous and unfair to them. Thus, they shall further conscientiously contemplate the law-reforming direction of the current WTO regime. Through “South-South” Coalition, through the agglomeration of their individual powers, and through the promotion in law-reforming, the weak groups will not only strengthen up hemselves, but also impel the current legal system and law-governing of WTO to advance with times for the benefit of the whole world.
