How WTO Complaints Can Help Make China More Market-Oriented.
The Trump administration has argued that the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to address China’s “unfair” trade practices. While it is true that China’s economic rise poses a unique challenge to the world trading system, WTO dispute settlement has more potential to address China’s practices than the administration believes. If the Trump administration really does want the Chinese economy to be more market-oriented, it should make better use of WTO rules by filing more complaints against China. While it is often accused of flouting the rules, China does a reasonably good job of complying with WTO complaints brought against it.
