For China's government, W-T-O accession represents an admission of the victory of capitalism over failed communist economics. For China's 1.3 (b) billion people, W-T-O membership will impose a new set of rules where winners and losers are determined in a competitive global marketplace. China's traditional farmers, more than any single group, are expected to feel the pain of international trade as members of the World Trade Organisation. The 800 (m) million poor peasants who have toiled for decades to feed the world's most populous country will see their livelihood of maize and wheat crops threatened by cheap foreign imports.
