Amy J, I really don't think too many average citizens feel any allegiance to the WTO. The WTO conferences are always boycotted and draw significant protests everywhere they go. Significant amounts of the country have real misgivings against free trade, have you seen those walmart PR ads? Plenty of locales don't want walmart moving in anymore. I think corporate america is on their own wrt trade enforcement, especially wrt China. China Rejects U.S. Chip Protest to WTO SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China rejected Wednesday U.S. accusations it was rigging its $30 billion chip market against American imports, saying it was ready to fight the first official U.S. complaint against Beijing under WTO rules. The potential complaint would be the latest in a string of pre-U.S. election skirmishes as Congressional anger grows over low-cost China's $125 billion surplus with the United States. The United States could soon lodge a complaint to the World Trade Organization against China -- breaking from a trend of resolving spats directly with Beijing -- over tax breaks enjoyed by chip companies based on the mainland, U.S. officials say. news.moneycentral.msn.com
