The WTO announced Tuesday that China has blocked the establishment of a panel requested by the United States, the European Union and Japan regarding China’s restrictions on rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum exports.
However, China cannot object again to the creation of the panel when the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) convenes again on July 23.
