The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) presented to Congress on December 23 the statutorily-mandated annual report on China’s compliance with its World Trade Organization (WTO) accession obligations. The report highlights the status of China’s ongoing efforts in such areas as intellectual property rights, industrial policy, agriculture, and services.
This is the seventh report prepared pursuant to section 421 of the U.S.‐China Relations Act of 2000 (P.L. 106‐286), 22 U.S.C. § 6951 (the Act), which requires the USTR to report annually to Congress on compliance by the People’s Republic of China (China) with commitments made in connection with its accession to the WTO, including both multilateral commitments and any bilateral commitments made to the United States. The report also incorporates the findings of the Overseas Compliance Program, as required by section 413(b)(2) of the Act, 22 U.S.C. § 6943(b)(2).
The focus of the report’s analysis continues to be on trade concerns raised by U.S. stakeholders that, in the view of the U.S. Government, merit attention within the WTO context.
