WTO sides with U.S. in China trade dispute

Go China! tell the U.S & WTO where they can shove their ruling,i'd have more sympathy for the U.S if their trade import methods weren't stifling, when competition from outside gets thwarted by giving huge subsidies on piss poor performing internal industries,a few of the Euro countries ain't much better either in that regard.

This was a forgone conclusion, the USA is the WTO and the IMF.

It's about time someone stood up to China's unfair trade policies. They set up their rules in such a manner to discourage the sale of legitimate foreign products and instead nurture and promote home-made counterfeit.

Not long ago China stated its intentions to adapt import rules for high-tech products where foreign manufacturers will have to divulge the manufacturing process and trade-secrets in order to sell their products in China. Supposedly, this is to verify the 'safety' of those products but no doubt would such intel find its way rapidly to Chinese counterfeiting plants.

I'm all in favor of China developing its economy, but not on the backs of R&D of foreign companies. Those companies invest money in research and it's only fair that the return for that investment goes to those companies and not low-life counterfeiters.

It is the Chinese government the US can not always tell other countries what to do. Freedom of media is a good thing but on a international level to some level it should be in the hands of the government unless its effecting their society in a really bad way.

surprise surprise.
