Merry Christmas to China - from Geneva

The AB report for the Auto Parts case has just been released to the
public. Not surprisingly, the AB affirmed the Panel on almost all
accounts. However, by refusing to affirm the panel on the Art. II.1
claims, the AB has left a huge loophole in the future implementation
of the AB ruling. It is interesting to see whether China will try to
exploit this loophole when the time comes for enforcement.
