皇冠体育app

BEIJING - 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) Saturday expressed strong dissatisfaction with the US opposition to granting it market economy status in the World Trade Organization (WTO).

"皇冠体育app is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposes US rejection to giving 皇冠体育app market economy status in the WTO," the MOC said in a statement.

The Office of the US Trade Representative told Xinhua Friday that the United States had submitted the statement of opposition to the WTO as a third-party brief in support of the European Union (EU).

The US submission came against the backdrop of the expiry in December 2016 of the Article 15 of the Protocol on 皇冠体育app's accession to the WTO, which allowed the EU to regard 皇冠体育app as a Non-Market Economy and use a "surrogate country approach" in its anti-dumping investigations against 皇冠体育app.
