China's Legal Strategy to Cope with U.S. Export Controls under the WTO Framework

Abstract

The United States has established a number of export control regulations within the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which have somewhat impacted Chinas exports. An major issue faced by China is how to employ legal tactics to counteract US export prohibitions. This study will examine Chinas current legislative framework and assess US export control laws within the context of the WTO. Targeted countermeasures will be recommended to satisfy Chinas legal obligations for dealing with US export controls under the WTO framework through the lens of issues and improvements. This study examines the issues with the current legal tactics and looks for potential solutions by analyzing pertinent domestic and international literature, laws, and regulations in combination with real-world case studies for comparison and summarizing. The study comes to the conclusion that Chinas legal defenses against US export controls inside the WTO framework have certain flaws. For instance, in order to properly respond to US export regulations, China needs to significantly develop its legal system. In addition, China should strengthen cooperation with other member countries to jointly face the challenges of US export controls. In response to these problems, this article puts forward some policy suggestions, including improving relevant laws and regulations, strengthening cooperation with other member countries, actively participating in the work of international organizations to protect Chinas export interests. At the same time, this article also recognizes that these strategies are only preliminary explorations, and further research and practical exploration are still needed in the future. In the field of international trade, China should continuously adapt to changes, strengthen the construction of its own legal system, and promote the development of China.
