SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China accused the United States of repeatedly abusing international trade rules, as Beijing braced on Thursday for an imminent announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump slapping more tariffs on Chinese imports.
A World Trade Organisation ruling against Obama-era anti-subsidy tariffs on Wednesday handed Chinas commerce ministry ammunition to criticize Washingtons conduct in trade affairs.
The ruling proves that the U.S. side has violated WTO rules, repeatedly abused trade remedy measures, which has serious damaged the fair and just nature of the international trade environment and weakened the stability of the multilateral trading system, the ministry said.
In the statement posted on its website late on Wednesday, the ministry went on to urge the United States to provide Chinese companies with a fair and stable international trade environment.
The WTO ruled that the United States had not fully complied with a 2014 ruling against its anti-subsidy tariffs on a range of Chinese products. However, it also supported the U.S. claim that Chinese exporters were getting subsidies from public bodies, despite Beijings assertions to the contrary.
