WTO reviews China trade policy a fifth time

Report notes that some government mechanisms aren't always transparent

The World Trade Organization is conducting a three-day trade policy review of China ending on Thursday as the country has grown into the world's largest goods trader over the past two years and now pledges further opening of its domestic market into the world economy.

In a 200-page report prepared by the WTO Secretariat, the world's top trade body evaluated such things as China's trade and investment policies, tariffs, trade remedies and government procurement from the second to the first half of 2014.
