The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the expert group's ruling on the WTO dispute over China's lawsuit against the United States over the "Inflation Reduction Act"

A reporter asked: It is reported that the World Trade Organization expert group has issued a ruling on the China US "Inflation Reduction Act" WTO dispute case, and the US measures involved have been found to violate WTO rules. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

Answer: On January 30th, local time in Geneva, the World Trade Organization announced the ruling of the expert group on the WTO dispute between China and the United States over the "Inflation Reduction Act". The expert group in this case ruled that the clean energy subsidy measures involved by the United States violated WTO rules, rejected the US's defense that the measures were taken to protect US "public morality", and demanded that the US cancel the subsidy measures involved. The Chinese side welcomes and appreciates the objective and fair ruling made by the expert group.

China has always been a steadfast guardian of WTO rules and a staunch defender of the international economic and trade order. We hope that the US side will respect the ruling of the expert group, respect the rules of the World Trade Organization, take measures to correct its erroneous practices as soon as possible, take practical actions to maintain the international economic and trade order, and promote the stable and orderly development of international trade.
