Answer:
discouraged contacts with outsiders.
Explanation:
Prior to joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), China wasn't open about it's economic activities or policy to other countries across the world. This simply means the Chinese government was very secretive about the happening in it's country and as such wouldn't allow outsiders to see what it was doing or it's internal engagements.
However, joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) made them to be more open to other countries, which was a key factor for their unprecedented economic growth and development.
