Among the 11 cases since China's accession to the World Trade Organization, 8 of them have already closed. The first appeal raised by China was the one against US Steel Tariffs in 2002.

Five years later, in 2007, China appealed to the WTO against the US anti-dumping and countervailing duty imposed on coated free sheet paper from China. The next year, China raised another appeal against US anti-dumping and countervailing on some other products from China.

In 2009, China raised three appeals at the WTO. One was against the EU's definitive anti-dumping measures on certain iron or steel fasteners from China, another one was against the US measures affecting imports of certain passenger vehicle and light truck tyres from China. The third one was against certain measures taken by the US affecting poultry imports from China.

In 2010, China raised an appeal against the EU's anti-dumping measures on certain Chinese footwear. In 2011, China raised an appeal against US anti-dumping measures on certain frozen warmwater shrimp. Except for the tyre case, China fully or partially won the other 7 appeals.

Until now, there are still three cases pending with the WTO, all raised during this year. One was against the US countervailing measures on 22 products from China. One was against the country's amendment to the Tariff Act of 1930, or known as GPX bill. The third one was against the EU's subsidies on its members' solar products.
