As I like to point out, it would be interesting to see how things would have turned out if the US focus in the early 2000s had been pressing China on issues such as market-orientation, human rights, and democracy, instead of, say, all the War on Terror stuff.

I agree to some extent, although I do think that formally granting China permanent MFN, and the subsequent WTO accession, probably encouraged more US companies to set up shop in China. But of course it's impossible to know how the counterfactual would have played out.

New rules continue to be added at a fast pace. More importantly, our detailed assessment allows us to measure their quality. Ambition has risen significantly since 2020, and a bit less (but still some) since 2024.
