A journalist asked: It is reported that the expert group of the World Trade Organization has issued a ruling on the China-US dispute over the "Inflation Reduction Act". The measures taken by the United States were found to violate the WTO rules. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? On January 30th, local time in Geneva, the World Trade Organization announced the ruling of the expert group on the China-US dispute over the "Inflation Reduction Act". The expert group in this case ruled that the US clean energy subsidy measures violated the WTO rules, rejected the US argument that the measures were taken to protect US "public morality", and demanded the US to cancel the subsidy measures. China welcomes and appreciates the objective and fair ruling made by the expert group. China has always been a staunch defender of the WTO rules and a defender of the international economic and trade order. We hope that the US will respect the ruling of the expert group, respect the WTO rules, take prompt action to correct the wrong practices, and maintain the international economic and trade order with practical actions, and promote the stable and orderly development of international trade.
