A WORLD Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute panel rejected all four of China's claims against the us in relation to previous solar-panel tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, reports Bloomberg.
China didn't establish that Washington's safeguards against imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells are inconsistent with the WTO's rules on the measures.
Previous US President Donald Trump announced four years of import caps and tariffs on panels after a certain amount is brought in, beginning January 2018.
The tariffs were in response to a trade suit filed in April 2017 by a bankrupt US solar manufacturer that argued it had been harmed by a wave of cheap imports.
The dispute-settlement body will adopt the panel's report within 60 days unless either the US or China notifies it of a decision to appeal.
