China a 'true believer' in multilateral trade

Globalization-related issues can be resolved using WTO, expert says

Although a multilateral trade agreement is deadlocked in the stalemated Doha Round negotiations, China is a "true believer" in the trade system backed by the World Trade Organization, a commerce official said on Friday.

"China firmly supports the multilateral trade system, though it's at the bottom again," Zhang Xiangchen, assistant minister of commerce, said at a seminar of the China Society for World Trade Organization Studies, known as CWTO.
