Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government calls on Washington to stop using the World Trade Organization to distort it
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government on Saturday strongly objected to remarks by the United States on Hong Kong situation at a meeting of the dispute settlement body (DSB) of the World Trade Organization the previous day.
Saying that the US comments “completely ignored and distorted the facts”, the SAR government urged Washington to stop abusing the forum to attack Hong Kong.
A WTO panel established under the DSB clearly ruled on Dec 21, 2022 that the origin marking requirement imposed by the US on products from Hong Kong is discriminatory and inconsistent with WTO rules, recommending the US to bring the measure into conformity, a spokesman for the HKSAR government said in a statement.
