So by signing on to the WTO deal, Jiang has come down firmly on the side of the reformists - and created a powerful crowbar with which Premier Zhu Rongji can prize open the economy and ensure its long-term growth despite the short-term pain. After 13 years of negotiations, the U.S. and China have finally agreed...
