BEIJING, March 23 (Xinhua) -- China abides by World Trade Organization (WTO) rules and will continue to do so, a commerce official said Thursday.

Sun Jiwen, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce (MOC), made the remarks at a press briefing in response to a question about a recent ROK complaint to the WTO over the situation facing ROK companies in China.

An ROK representative told a WTO meeting on March 17 that some ROK businesses in China had been affected, Sun told reporters.

"As a responsible member of the WTO, China always abides by WTO rules, honors its commitments, and will continue to do so," Sun said.

He also noted that the ROK finance minister told media that there was "no evidence" that China has taken policy measures.
