China lodges first trade complaint against US to WTO

China’s Ministry of Commerce announced the Chinese government has filed a complaint to the WTO about the nature of a US ban on Chinese poultry. The US Senate Tuesday passed an act which included a ban of chicken parts from China. The Chinese government claims this ban violates global commerce rules and Ministry of Commerce Yao Jian called it “discriminatory”. Trade of poultry resumed in 2004 after a suspension during the bird flu outbreak.
