Asia stocks rise: Japan surges on Takaichi bets, China buoyed by positive GDP
Investing.com -- China’s mission to the World Trade Organization (WTO) criticized the United States on Friday for undermining the rules-based multilateral trading system since the new administration took office in 2025.
The Chinese delegation cited the U.S. government’s "frequent implementation of trade discriminatory policies" and introduction of "so-called reciprocal tariffs" that have "severely infringed upon legitimate rights of various countries" by launching what China describes as a global trade war.
China also accused the U.S. of refusing to implement WTO panel rulings while persistently blocking the reappointment of WTO Appellate Body members, effectively hampering the organization’s dispute resolution mechanism.
The mission further stated that the U.S. has "continued to escalate its bullying behaviors in imposing unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdictions, which violated principles of market economy and fair competition grievously."
According to the Chinese delegation, an upcoming report from China’s commerce ministry will evaluate U.S. compliance across 11 areas. The report will renew calls for Washington to adhere to WTO rules while collaborating with other member nations to support global economic governance.
China urged the U.S. to "play its due role as a major WTO member, abide by trade rules, honor commitments" in international trade relations.
