Abstract
Special and differential treatment (SDT) is of vital importance to developing countries. Through this mechanism, developing countries have gradually gained access to developed markets, enjoyed tariff reductions, and received technical assistance. This has promoted trade liberalization, facilitated their integration into the global trade system, and enhanced their capacity to participate in international affairs. However, the SDT system still has several shortcomings that need to be addressed through appropriate reforms and improvements.
