Chinese experts on international trade argued yesterday that the government’s rule that all personal computers shipped to the country be installed with the filtering software Green Dam from July 1, does not violate WTO regulations, as claimed by US officials.

The US embassy in Beijing confirmed that US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and US Trade Representative Ron Kirk sent a joint letter Wednesday to their counterparts in China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) urging China to revoke the rule.
