As some other WTO member economies say they will refuse to recognize China's 'market economy' status, Chinese authorities say they will fight for their rights as a member of the organization, and will take whatever measures are available to them to safeguard their interests according to the organization's rules.

"According to Article 15 of the Protocol on China's accession to the WTO, it's the obligation of WTO members to stop using the surrogate country approach against China's exports as scheduled. This is clear and out of question. And it has nothing to do with so-called "market economy status," said Shen Danyang, spokesman of Chinese Ministry of Commerce.
