China ‘regrets’ US repeated IPR complaint to WTO (China Daily)

“China regrets that the United States has appealed to the World Trade Organization (WTO) for the second time to set up an expert panel to investigate US complaints that China is failing to do enough to protect intellectual property rights (IPRs), a Chinese government spokesman said on Thursday. The Chinese government would actively respond to the US request and protect Chinas interests under WTO rules, said Wang Xinpei, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce. The WTO decided on Tuesday to establish the panel according to US request, after the first request was rejected by China last month according to WTO rules….China firmly opposed accepting obligations that went beyond what is prescribed in the WTOs Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and believed that other developing members would not accept the outcome of such an attempt, said Wang.”
