The person in charge of the World Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce: The United States is engaged in "small courtyards and high walls" and "decoupling and breaking chains", which brings severe challenges to the multilateral trading system

On September 12, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce today released a new "Report on the Implementation of US Obligations under WTO Rules". The head of the WTO Department of the Ministry of Commerce introduced the relevant situation. In August 2023, the Ministry of Commerce released the first "Report on the Implementation of US Obligations under WTO Rules". A year after the release of the "Report", the United States has continued to politicize and weaponize economic and trade issues, falsely accusing China of "overcapacity" and implementing "economic coercion". However, under the guise of "de-risk", it wantonly wields the "tariff stick", continues to escalate unilateral sanctions, and engages in "small courtyard walls" and "decoupling and breaking chains", which brings severe challenges to the multilateral trading system and seriously damages the common interests of WTO members. Based on the above background, the Ministry of Commerce has updated and reissued the content of the "Report", continuing to express serious concerns about the relevant policies and measures of the United States.
