ABSTRACT The international community, under the auspice of WHO, developed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) to curb the tobacco epidemic throughout the world. It is the first time that the Organization has used its constitutional power to develop an internationally legal instrument in global health governance. China accounts for 38% of the world’s cigarette sales and 1/3 of the world’s smokers. Annually, more than 1 million people die prematurely from tobacco-induced diseases in China. Therefore, China’s tobacco control has significant implications for global health governance. WHO FCTC was ratified by China’s top legislative body in 2005, which indicates that China is under legal obligation to internalize the global health norm. However, China’s endorsement of FCTC has made little difference in China’s tobacco control since then. The absence of political will leads to China’s failure to internalize FCTC. This Thesis analyzes China’s rationale to join FCTC and identifies the divide between FCTC requirements and China’s implementation of the global health norm. It argues that China’s other interest to join WHO FCTC such as economic and political interst are the most important factors that hinder the internalization of FCTC in China.
