中国在世贸组织贸易争端会议上称华盛顿为 "恶霸" I 路透社

  • 中国驻世界贸易组织(WTO)大使李成钢在一次关于贸易争端的WTO会议上称美国是 "单边恶霸 "和 “规则破坏者”。

  • 这一声明是在美国对世贸组织最近的一项裁决提出上诉之后作出的,该裁决认为美国的金属关税违反了全球规则。

  • 世贸组织最近几周做出了针对美国的重要裁决,包括涉及中国的金属裁决和与香港关于标签的单独争端。

  • 华盛顿批评了这两项裁决,并长期批评世贸组织的争端制度过于宽泛,并正在主导关于改革该制度的讨论。

  • 世贸组织将无法审查华盛顿对金属案件的上诉,因为在美国阻止新的法官后,其最高上诉法庭处于瘫痪状态。

  • 中国驻世贸组织大使说,它本来希望美国会表现出应有的自我克制,不要对每个不利的小组报告都提出上诉,因为这是美国自己造成的空白。

  • China’s ambassador to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Li Chenggang called the United States a “unilateral bully” and a “rule breaker” at a WTO meeting on trade disputes.

  • The statement comes after the United States lodged an appeal against a recent WTO ruling that found that U.S. metal tariffs breached global rules.

  • The WTO has recently made important rulings against the United States in recent weeks, including the metals ruling involving China and a separate dispute with Hong Kong over labelling.

  • Washington has criticized both rulings and has long criticized the WTO dispute system for overreach and is leading discussions on reforming it.

  • The WTO will not be able to review Washington’s appeal of the metals case because its top appeals bench is paralyzed after the United States blocked new judges.

  • China’s ambassador to the WTO said that it would have hoped that the U.S would show due self-restraint and not appeal every unfavorable panel report into the void, which the U.S. itself has created.
