World Trade Organization
The dispute outlined in China's panel request is one of the most extensive in the history of the World Trade Organization. China's request challenges the WTO-consistency of various aspects of 22 separate subsidy investigations, including 18 "public body" determinations; 18 determinations that the provision of inputs for less than adequate remuneration were specific; 18 determinations that subsidies conferred a benefit, as well as the investigating authority's calculation of that benefit; eight determinations that the provision of land and land-use rights for less than adequate remuneration were specific; and two determinations that export restraints
provided a financial contribution. The panel request also presents 26 claims related to certain aspects of the initiation of investigations into particular subsidies.
