However,given the shifting trade configuration and distribution of economic power,international trade system faces contradictions and problems,which become the basic cause to a new round of reform of the system.As a big power of trade and an influential developing country,China has actively participated and coordinated the further and deep adjustment of the international trade system,helping the framework-building of a sounder and better multilateral cooperation system of international trade.Moreover,the positive standing of China in terms of its struggling against trade protectionism and pushing for trade liberalization has expanded both the reforms and the goals of the new trade system.In addition,China s participation has substantially introduced a multilateral coordinated system into the consultation system of the international trade system reform,provides the new system with innovation and influence, and provides the trade liberalization and economic globalization with a concrete status in political sense.In sum,China s position and role in a just and fair international trade system will become more solid and important.Besides, the manifestation of China's value is not to revolutionize the traditional system, but to stick to the principle of taking the essence and going to its dregs ,in order to push for an orderly,effective,equal,harmonious reform of the trade system and to realize a process of development treating domestic and foreign markets to be equally important,and promoting foreign market by improving domestic market.
