WTO rules against US 'double remedy'

The World Trade Organization on Thursday released the report of a panel that backed China's challenge of countervailing and anti-dumping measures taken by the United States against certain products from China.

However, the WTO didn't support China's claim that a US measure known as the GPX Act was inconsistent with WTO rules.

More than 20 types of Chinese exports, ranging from photovoltaic cells for the solar industry to pipes used in wells in the oil and natural gas industries, were involved in the investigations or reviews launched by the US between Nov 20, 2006, and March 13, 2012.
