When the government chooses the FTA partners, generally, the best concern is its economic result. The paper, however, believes that legal framework also should be studied at the same time for the benefit of the own country from the FTA. Under the preposition of the necessity and
possibility of the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between Korea and China (KCFTA), the paper analyzed KCFTA from the legal perspective.
First of all, both China and Korea as the WTO members, they should obey WTO rules and KCFTA should not violate WTO, hence through the comparison WTO and some important FTAs like NAFTA and Korea-Chile FTA, the paper explains common and different contents which they
regulates. Secondly, the paper presents current problems such as strict non-tariff and anti-dumping measures in economic relations between Korea and China which China points out and based upon them, the paper precluded the legal framework and contents of the future KCFTA such as tariff, trade remedy and dispute settlement areas. In the final part of the paper, it suggests not only legal issues but also the legal framework and contents which is favorable to Korea in the KCFTA.
