Ten Years after China's Entry into the WTO:the Preliminary Study on the Opening up of China's Retail Industry

In understanding the great achievements we have made in the development of retail industry since reform and opening up,there are full of words of praise for the role foreign investment plays;we should have a clear understanding of that;we should not only understand the positive effect imposed by foreign investment on the development of China's retail industry,but also understand the negative effect of that;we should cancel the super national treatment for foreign investment in terms of tax,market access and the license of foreign trade;the local government should not blindly introduce foreign investment only for the purpose of pursuing performance;and we also should understand that retail industry is the first that will be influenced by the opening up of retail industry,but the development of the manufacturing industry will ultimately be influenced.During the Twelfth Five Year Plan period,we should seize the opportunity to build a commercial logistic system based on the integration of foreign and domestic trade,urban and rural market,and wholesale and retail logistics and distribution,implement the strategy of snatching foreign market share and integrating domestic market,get rid of the traditional thinking of manufacturing industry,and foster the new idea of channel is the scarce resource and the economic lifeline to promote the development of China's retail industry.
