Trade wars are not as easy to win as President Donald Trump thought. But the
United States generally wins trade disputes, particularly against China,
when the case is brought to the World Trade Organization (WTO). This
conclusion from the data is at odds with what Trump has asserted in his
threats to pull the United States out of the WTO. In 2018, he declared that
the WTO was set up "to benefit everybody but us" and added: "We lose the
lawsuits, almost all of the lawsuits in the WTO."
Table 1 shows that Trump’s perception was wrong, at least with respect to
China: Over the last 16 years, US officials have challenged Chinese
practices 23 times in the WTO; the win-loss record is 19-0, with four cases
pending. In the most recent decision, the WTO panel found that China’s
agricultural subsidies are inconsistent with WTO rules, upholding US claims.
When the United States defends its own policies against Chinese complaints,
it also gets good results: China has won only about one-third of the cases
it has brought against the United States, with six cases currently pending.[
1] US officials won one case and parts of three others. One Chinese
complaint was dropped when the US International Trade Commission terminated
an unfair trade investigation.
Almost 40 percent of the time, US complaints against China are resolved
after consultations and without a protracted process of adjudication by a
WTO dispute panel. On average, results are achieved eight months after the
WTO talks begin. But in cases where panels are required to provide written
decisions, the process takes more than three times longer and almost always
is subject to appeal and compliance procedures that extend the duration of
the proceedings even further.
US cases against China target a broad range of practices such as export
duties and quotas, subsidies, and restrictions on market access to service
sectors. Almost half of the cases brought by China against the United States
involve complaints about US antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations, particularly the methodologies for calculating dumping
margins and subsidies to be countered by US penalty duties. Three of these
cases involved split decisions by the WTO Appellate Body.
Among the ten pending cases, several involve complaints about tit-for-tat
retaliation in the current trade war and could be dropped if bilateral trade
negotiations are successful. Others, however, may get caught in the backlog
of WTO cases caused by the blocking of the appointment of Appellate Body
members by US officials seeking an overhaul of the WTO dispute settlement
process.
In sum, WTO dispute procedures work to enforce existing US rights under the
world trade rules. But some US-China problems fall outside the WTO rulebook,
so there is a strong need to update international trade obligations to
address current disputes over investment, intellectual property rights, and
other issues. | m*******h

发帖数: 2964 | 10 有没有按时间顺序的胜败诉，我看到有报道说刚开始厉害国根本就不会玩，就是孔夫子
搬家；后来经过学习，雇佣外籍高手等等，败诉率就下来了。也有可能是Low Hanging
