CHINA comprehensively lost an appeal yesterday against a World Trade Organization ruling in a dispute over US exports of a speciality steel product that is primarily made in the presidential battleground states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The dispute involved duties imposed by China on "grain-oriented electrical steel," which is used in the cores of high-efficiency transformers, electric motors and generators, and is made by AK Steel Corp and ATI Allegheny Ludlum.
The WTO appeal judges upheld the original ruling published in June and disagreed with China's claims that the three-person panel of adjudicators who judged the case then had misinterpreted the WTO rules.
The US brought the case in September 2010 after China accused US exporters of "dumping" on the Chinese market. China imposed the duties after domestic steel mills were unhappy about the "Buy America" provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and state government procurement laws.
