US move on clean energy ironic

China has the right to promote its renewable energy industries. Hence, the United States has no business launching an investigation into the subsidy given by the Chinese government to its renewable energy sector, says an article in China Youth Daily. Excerpts:

Trade frictions between China and the US have surfaced again. On Oct 15, the Office of the US Trade Representative started an investigation into the subsidies granted by China to its renewable energy industries. That the US has started a probe under section 301 of the World Trade Organization's rules is the latest sign of its trade protectionist moves.
