Hong Kong will file complaint to WTO on US tariffs, official says

Hong Kong may file a complaint with the World Trade Organization alleging that the US has completely ignored its reputation as a separate customs place in response to current US taxes imposed on the town.

” This completely contradicts the WTO regulations.” Of course, they have completely disregarded Hong Kong is a distinct customs territory”, Chan, the China-ruled state’s number two standard, told reporters.

” We may file a complaint to the WTO regarding this absurd design”, he said without giving details.

As US President Donald Trump targets Chinese imports, Chan was reacting to a US decision to impose 10 % tariffs on products from the Asian financial hub.
