China's counterattack against US accusations? Ministry of Commerce responds! System | World Trade Organization | United States
The person in charge of the World Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions on the report on the United States' compliance with WTO rules and obligations
A reporter asked: On August 11th, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce released a report on the United States' compliance with WTO rules and obligations, reflecting and criticizing the United States for violating WTO rules and obligations and undermining multilateralism. Can this be understood as China's counterattack against accusations from the United States?
Answer: The World Trade Organization is a member driven international organization, and the leading role of its major members cannot be ignored. The current multilateral trading system is facing enormous challenges, and major members should play a leading role, strive to promote unity and cooperation among all parties, and jointly safeguard the authority and effectiveness of the multilateral trading system.

As the largest developing member of the World Trade Organization, China has been steadfastly supporting the multilateral trading system through practical actions since joining the WTO in 2001, fully fulfilling WTO commitments, deeply participating in WTO work, promoting the construction of an open world economy, and continuously providing new opportunities for the world with China's new development. Unfortunately, as the world's largest economy and a major creator and beneficiary of the multilateral trading system, the United States has disregarded multilateral rules and member expectations in recent years, implemented unilateral trade bullying, manipulated double standards in industrial policies, disrupted global industrial and supply chains, refused to implement WTO rulings, seriously weakened the core values and basic principles of the multilateral trading system, and had a serious destructive impact on the reform and development process of the WTO, damaging the common interests of members.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has released a report on the United States' compliance with WTO rules and obligations, which is based on the objective situation of the United States' compliance with WTO rules and obligations. It expresses concern about its relevant policy measures and upholds the WTO's fine tradition of emphasizing facts and rules. China is willing to take this opportunity to call on the United States to promptly correct its erroneous words and actions, effectively abide by WTO rules and its own commitments, and actively maintain the authority, integrity, and effectiveness of the multilateral trading system. China will continue to closely communicate and cooperate with all parties, fully and deeply participate in the reform of the World Trade Organization, and work together to promote the multilateral trading system to play a greater role in global economic governance.
