The US government announced on the 1st that it would impose a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods exported to the United States, which will take effect on the 4th. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce of China said on the 4th that in order to defend its legitimate rights and interests, China has brought the US tariff measures to the WTO dispute settlement mechanism.

In a statement, the WTO said that China believes that the US approach is inconsistent with many provisions of the 1994 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and has requested consultations. "Consultations give both parties an opportunity to discuss issues and find satisfactory solutions without further litigation. After 60 days, if the consultations fail to resolve the dispute, the complaining party may request a ruling from the panel," the statement read.
