In May, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman filed a WTO complaint over whether China is in compliance with a 2013 mandate on duties on U.S. broiler products, according to Meatingplace. Chinese government officials responded last week with a strong statement that it was working with U.S. trade officials and adding that its measures are in compliance with WTO rules. The WTO could make a decision on the issue before the end of this year, opening the appeal process for China, if the nation is found to be non-complaint with the duties.
