  "summary": "The US has criticized China's compliance with World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments, highlighting Beijing's anticompetitive behavior and non-market economic system as posing a significant challenge to the global trading system. Assistant US Trade Representative Terry McCartin stated that China's approach has evolved, with the country now focusing on targeting entire industrial sectors for global dominance. US steelmakers have urged Washington to consider additional tariffs and coordinate with other countries to counter China's steel overcapacity, as industry groups have raised complaints about Beijing's trade practices ahead of a recent hearing. The US has long accused China of failing to meet its WTO commitments, with the latest report released in March 2026 stating that China's state-led economic model has deepened rather than softened after nearly 25 years of WTO membership.",
