A World Trade Organization panel has ruled in favour of China in its dispute with the United States over an effective U.S. ban on imports of cooked Chinese chicken, a Chinese source said on Tuesday.
The dispute, one of several political and economic differences dogging U.S.-Chinese relations, originated, like many trade rows, in health concerns -- in this case U.S. nervousness about Chinese poultry following outbreaks of bird flu in Asia. Asked whether China had won the case, the source, who is familiar with the ruling, told Reuters: "You could say that ... It went well."
The dispute arose because of a spending bill passed by the U.S. Congress that prevented the authorities from taking any measures to process imports of Chinese chicken.
