The original text is as follows: Head of the Ministry of Commerce's WTO Office interprets the "Report on the United States' Compliance with WTO Obligations by 2025" On October 17th, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce released the "Report on the United States' Compliance with WTO Obligations by 2025." The head of the Ministry of Commerce's WTO Office introduced the relevant situation. Since 2023, based on the objective situation of the US compliance with WTO obligations, China has annually released reports on the US's compliance with WTO obligations to express concerns over the US's actions that undermine the multilateral trading system, implement trade bullying, manipulate industry policies with double standards, and disrupt global supply chains. Since the release of the 2024 report, the US has continued to disregard member expectations, acted against WTO obligations, escalated unilateral measures, frequently implemented discriminatory policies, launched so-called "equal tariffs," initiated a global trade war, seriously infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of various countries, violated WTO rules, and seriously damaged the rules-based multilateral trading system. Based on the above situation, the Ministry of Commerce released the 2025 report to continue expressing serious concerns over relevant US policies. The multilateral trading system centered around the WTO is the cornerstone of economic globalization and international trade. The WTO is a rules-based international organization that relies on members to fully abide by obligations while enjoying rights, as well as mutual supervision and cooperation among members. The current multilateral trading system faces significant challenges, and China hopes that through the release of the 2025 report, the US will promptly correct its erroneous practices, comply with WTO rules, fulfill its obligations as a member, quickly remove "equal tariffs" and other discriminatory measures, and work together with other members, including China, to promote the multilateral trading system to play a greater role in global governance and jointly strive to achieve a fair and orderly world multipolarization and inclusive economic globalization.
