China expressed regret over the U.S. decision to launch a dual-trade investigation into its kitchen appliances, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said in an on-line statement on Friday.

The U.S. government decided on Aug. 21 to initiate anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probes into China-made kitchen racks.

"It is a pity the United States insisted on carrying out the case without adequate legal and actual evidence, or support of related World Trade Organization (WTO) rules," the MOC spokesman said.

The U.S. started the first anti-subsidy probe on Chinese coated paper in November 2006, violating its rules and traditions of not adopting anti-subsidy measures against non-market economies. It has launched 13 such investigations targeting China since then.

The frequent anti-subsidy cases imposed on the country would mislead the U.S. industry and other WTO members, thus hurting the healthy development of Sino-U.S.trade, according the statement.

"We hope the States would act in accordance with related WTO rules as well as its domestic laws. China reserves its rights to solve any disputes through WTO mechanism," the MOF said.
