The Chinese representatives underscored this resolution as a testament to China\u2019s commitment to expanding openness and pursuing high-quality development, promising significant opportunities for the global community.<\/p>\n<p>China dismissed claims of \u201covercapacity\u201d in new energy sectors, arguing that the global demand for green and low-carbon technologies negates such allegations. The delegation firmly denied practices of \u201ceconomic coercion,\u201d criticizing some WTO members for their \u201clong-arm jurisdiction,\u201d restrictive lists, and arbitrary sanctions, which they identified as the true sources of economic coercion.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese representatives approached various concerns with transparency, covering industrial policy, subsidies, state-owned enterprises, intellectual property protection, cyber security, government procurement, export controls, and transparency. Detailed explanations were provided on policy objectives, operational specifics, implementation effects, and future directions.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the review, representatives from 71 WTO members engaged, many commending China\u2019s reforms, and contributions to the WTO, and expressing eagerness to deepen economic and trade relations.
