The detonation of a nuclear device by the People's Republic of China on October 16, 1964, made it unmistakably clear that China attached a very high priority to becoming a militarily effective nuclear power as soon as possible. Although the effect on Chinese economic development has probably been relatively limited thus far, the Chinese are devoting substantial resources to their nuclear programme and may be expected to have militarily effective systems within this decade. The Chinese appear to be considerably further along in the development of nuclear weapons and delivery systems than had been previously anticipated.

The customs duty of China includes the MFN rates, contractual tariff rates, special fares, general tariff rates, tariff quota rates, and temporary duties. Import and export licensing holds an important place among the non-tariff instruments of China's trade policy. It should be noted that China also introduces general restrictions on export and those which are country-specific. Conclusions. China's foreign trade policy goes through the period of modernization towards greater liberalization, pluralism and transparency. The protection of national interests are becoming more and more analogous to those of the leading countries of the world, it is characterized by hierarchically lined state and business institutions and takes into account the economic and political interests of stakeholders. At the same time, the role of China as a trade partner for the most of the countries increases.
