> Even recently there was a chicken dispute case with China [1]. > That's not perfect in any way, and that's crazy slow You're right about how slow the WTO process is: Per your Reuters link: China's chicken tariff was enacted in 2010. The WTO ruling against it was in 2018, 8 years later, but it's unclear if the dispute has actually been resolved: > [China's Ministry of Commerce said] that China would assess the WTO report and carry out “follow-up work” in accordance with WTO rules. That sounds extremely non-committal to me, and I couldn't find any more recent updates the first several pages of Google News results. However, I doubt anything has actually happened based on prior precedent: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/06/business/us-china-trade-endgame.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/06/business/us-china-trade-e... > The United States could press its argument with the World Trade Organization, which oversees global trading rules and prohibits big loans from government-controlled banks at artificially low interest rates. But the W.T.O. requires many contracts and government documents to prove cases, evidence that can be hard to get in a tightly controlled country like China. > Even when the W.T.O. rules against China, persuading the country to comply can be challenging. One such ruling, involving China’s restrictions on foreign electronic payment systems, was issued nearly six years ago. China is still mulling how it will comply — despite numerous complaints from the Obama administration and more recent nudges from the Trump administration. If the current trade dispute is really about the "China 2025" program, attempting to resolve it through the WTO could take until 2032 or later, which seems a bit late.
