China's Compliance With the World Trade Organization and International Trade Rules [Hearing] [15 January 2014]

When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 it was hoped that China would strengthen the rule of law, open its markets to U.S. goods, end discriminatory trading policies, and increase transparency, bringing benefits to both the United States and China. Some 12 years later considerable concern remains over China's compliance with its WTO obligations and international trade rules generally. The state continues to play a heavy role over China's economy and to subsidize state-owned enterprises and favored industries at the expense of foreign competition. Other problems include weak enforcement of intellectual property rights, retaliation for U.S. trade actions, lack of transparency, and forced technology transfer. This hearing will examine recent issues and trends in China's compliance with WTO and other international trade rules.
