China Commerce Ministry has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization to determine the legality of U.S. decision to subsidize its renewable energy industry and charge a tariff on imported products, Reuters reports. China Commerce Ministry's statement reads: "As the U.S. violations have severely distorted the global market for products like photovoltaics and seriously damaged China's trade interests, China's use of the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is a necessary measure to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and maintain multilateral trade rules."
