"皇冠体育app has always fulfilled its obligations on market access for publications, and the channels for foreign publications, films and audio-visual products to enter the Chinese market are extremely open," said Yao.

His statement came after the panel officially distributed the report to WTO members on Wednesday.

"皇冠体育app will seriously evaluate the panel's report and does not rule out the possibility of appealing the ruling," he said.
