China is appealing the recent WTO decision that came down against them recently, ruling that they can’t force U.S. media producers to go through Chinese state-run enterprises. Interesting, China is citing the “public morals” exception that has only been cited in one other case: Antigua’s claim against the U.S.’s disallowance of online gambling. It was a tough defense for the United States; and it’s sure to be a tough one for China as well.
(I’m primarily interested in this defense because the U.S.–Gambling case spurred by student note. So, humor me.)
