WASHINGTON — The United States should sue China at the WTO over rampant copyright abuses, and ban US Internet companies from revealing their users’ identities to Beijing, a top panel said Thursday.
The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a bipartisan panel of experts appointed by Congress, issued its recommendations in a hard-hitting annual report that notably took China to task over North Korea’s nuclear drive.
On the economic front, the experts said Congress should urge the administration “to press ahead aggressively with a WTO case against China for its manifest failures to enforce intellectual property rights (IPR).”
It also recommended that “Congress prohibit disclosure by US companies to the Chinese government, in the absence of formal legal action by the Chinese government, of information about Chinese users or authors of online content.”
