China has scored another victory against the USA at the World Trade Organization (WTO). The WTO authorized the People’s Republic to impose countervailing duties worth $645 million against certain US imports in a case that has been pending for a good decade. The background to the case is a complaint filed by China at the WTO against punitive tariffs imposed by the United States on 22 Chinese products between 2008 and 2012, alleging government subsidies and dumping prices. The products affected ranged from solar modules to steel wire.
