Beijing, U.S. accelerate WTO push as worries deepen

Article Abstract:

Analysts project China's full-year gross domestic product could shrink to about 7.5% if World Trade Organization (WTO) membership is delayed. Despite Chinese bilateral trade agreements with 36 of the 37 WTO countries, membership faces possible delay for a myriad of reasons including issues involving trading rights for foreign companies, antidumping regulations, and lack of a bilateral trading agreement with Mexico.

U.S. anti-dumping suits are piling up on Beijing

Article Abstract:

Several U.S. companies have filed antidumping suits against China recently, demanding punitive tariffs because their competitors are allegedly undercutting prices. The dumping disputes, combined with the U.S. economic slowdown and a worldwide trend favoring inexpensive imports, may lead to more tense trade relations between the U.S. and China.
