Abstract:
Through a study of China's wind turbine sector, this paper demonstrates how China liberally implements industrial policies and then removes them when the WTO disputes them. China's convenient compliance with the WTO rulings reflects Beijing's realpolitik navigation through the organization's dispute-resolution process, rather than socialization to international norms.
