The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission held a public hearing in April on China’s WTO Compliance and Industrial Subsidies.  

The hearing assessed China’s compliance with its World Trade Organization accession agreement on subsidies, examined what constitutes China’s subsidy regime, evaluated the level of transparency of China’s economic planning process, and identified how China’s industrial subsidies negatively or positively affect U.S. companies, investors, and workers.

The Commission also heard from a representative of the office of the U.S. Trade Representative, as well as experts in the private sector and academic authorities on China’s industrial subsidies.
