WTO backs China in U.S. chicken import row: (Reuters) - A World Trade Organization panel has ruled in favor of China in its dispute with the United States over an effective U.S. ban on imports of Chinese chicken, a Chinese source said on Tuesday.
The WTO issued a ruling in the poultry dispute to the two parties on Monday, but it remains confidential until it is published in a couple of months time.
There was no official comment from Chinese or U.S. authorities. Asked whether China had won the case, the source, who is familiar with the ruling, told Reuters: "You could say that ... It went well."

Managed trade according not to America but according to the world.
McCain was the Commerce Committee Chairman 8 years under the Clinton administration.This man had the power to have hearings on our jobs being shipped over seas. Not one hearing did this man have while the world trade organization were taking our jobs away.Listen to these men, they were telling you the truth.
the government took are jobs away from you and your FAMILY they think we forgot GOVERNEMT IS THE PROBLEM!!!!
This dispute is about whether we have to allow China to export chicken to the US when there is an outbreak of bird flu. Apparently we do.
what not point ,a secret board met at the wto and tell america its must change its laws no one elected American set on this board
A woman in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong has died of the H5N1 bird flu virus, which she probably contracted from sick poultry she kept in her backyard, Hong Kong government health officials said on Monday.
It’s not “secret” just because you don’t know about how it is formed. Usually, the panel is comprised of three or five members, and the parties to the dispute have the power to object to their appointment.

Looks pretty current to me, FRiend. The INCIDENT was 2 years ago, this is the legal chakeout from then.
I’m replying to comment #7, and not the original post. I suspect our friend was trying to pull a fast one.
I do NOT want to eat a chicken that has ever been in China.
Are these chickens grown in China or grown in the USA then processed in CHINA then sold in the USA?
That chicken of ours, I suppose, could come back to us. (I don't know the details, and this thing went down at the same time as the Chinese tire tariffs, so I'd need more time than I'm willing to spend to sort it all out).
“I do NOT want to eat a chicken that has ever been in China.”
The problem here is that the U.S is not longer strong enough to bend/break internal rules of trade to it’s own advantage. So I’m afraid you’re gonna have to eat that chicken whether you like it or not. :P
C’mon. We can ban Chinese chicken in perpetuity, and there’s nothing the WTO can do about it (other than to allow China to ban our chicken, for example).
All I want to eat are chickens from my own state. What happen to the law of supply and demand? I’ll pay, I’ll pay!
I can see two headlines:
1) Famine in the USA as Chinese chickens arrive late!
2) Chinese Army burns bodies of Americans poisoned by chicken!
That doesn't make very much sense, unless you add "but I want them sold at the most convenient location to my house!"
Says you. If someone wants to sell chickens and I want to buy them, I think we can find a way to do that.
Somehow, we all ate chicken before Nixon went to China.
I don’t see what your problem is—if you don’t want to buy Chinese chicken, then don’t buy it. I don’t buy food from China, either.
You think they’re going to tell you? They don’t want you to know which veggies come from Mexico either. What are the restaurants going to use? Ick!
There is no way a chicken, shipped around the world twice, is cheaper than an all-American-chicken. Something horrible is going on - and I don’t want to eat it.
That's what a lot of Dems say (I'm not implying that you are a Dem) . . . "they are American producers, they should be able to afford the extra taxes," etc.
How is a chicken sent to China for processing and returned to the USA taxed less?
Obviously, they are trying to make the American middle class poorer and give the Chinese a way to make money because our ruling class believes in redistribution.
But, let’s not pretend that it has anything to do with supply and demand or free enterprise or the American way.
In other words, our corporate tax rate is sending these chickens overseas, so that they can be returned to us. Don't you think that's a little effed-up?
What I think is that corporations are sleeping with the politicians and free enterprise is dead in America; and, at some point I’m going to eat Chinese chicken and be grateful for it. Boy, I’m I depressed.
China puts 105% tariff on our chicken exports.
We should do the same to theirs.
Someone wants China to get that money.
Umm, the duties (whatever they are, 105% sounds a little high) were placed on U.S. chicken because our market is closed to Chinese chicken. I’m not saying we should import Chinese chicken, but complaining about China’s duties on ours is a little backward.
No, someone wants to sell less U.S. chicken in China.
Ummm, no. You're wrong. (Do you just make the stuff up that you post?)
They were imposed as antisubsidy and antidumping tariffs.
Pretty amusing - China hitting the US with antidumping tariffs when they dump shipload after shipload of their junk on our shores.
But the ban on imports remains effectively in place as the U.S. Department of Agriculture is still reviewing Chinese food safety rules before deciding whether it can start inspections at Chinese processing plants.
same Reuters story, just updated
So you're wrong. (And I just like to make fun of people who act as if they know what they're talking about).
Huh?
I was talking about Chinese imports (i.e. U.S. exports) being subject to 105% tariffs (antidumping and antisubsidy)
Now you’re gonna talk about U.S. imports and try to twist this to say *I’m* wrong by ?
Whew!
You’re a real piece of work.
Seriously, look at it again. You said I was wrong, but not what I was wrong about. I might be a "piece of work," thank you, but you're simply dumb.
China puts 105% tariff on our chicken exports.So what is 105% of zero? I'm not that good at math.
We should do the same to theirs.
105% of the value of the chicken when it hits the dock at Long Beach.
Did I miss something? Why am I being misunderstood?
The part where the poster said that if the US is forced to allow Chinese chicken into the country, we ought to slap it with the same tarrif that is, apparently, imposed on US chicken entering China.
You said China's tariffs (imposed on US goods imported to China) were in response to the banning all chicken imports.
That was false.
You were wrong.
Deal with it.
1rudeboy: "Umm, the duties (whatever they are, 105% sounds a little high) were placed on U.S. chicken because our market is closed to Chinese chicken. I’m not saying we should import Chinese chicken, but complaining about China’s duties on ours is a little backward."
Exactly. It goes to the subject of the whole article - the stupid WTO ruling.
Thank you!
Well, that would make the comment even more stupid . . . because it suggests that a 105% tariff will allieviate concerns about bird flu.
Moreover, calcowgirl, I can just as easily argue that China imposed these tariffs because we imposed tariffs on Chinese tires. That doesn't make you "wrong," it just indicates that your feeble mind can't grasp the notion that this trade dispute has many fathers.
Apart from the fact that the word "if" was never used, and therefore I should be crucified for not assuming it was there.
All because you couldn't be bothered to be specific in the first place.
