China urges U.S. to respect WTO panel ruling - statement

"China hopes the U.S. respect the panel's ruling and the WTO rules, correct its wrongful conducts as soon as possible, and work with China and other WTO members to jointly uphold the multilateral trading system," it said in a statement sent by its diplomatic mission to the WTO in Geneva. Beijing is one of several parties to the case against the United States.

Washington called the panel's conclusions "flawed".
