China's ministry of Commerce expressed strong opposition against the US government's acceptance of 13 industry petitions to reimpose quotas on Chinese textile imports on Thursday.
"The US practice has obviously violated relevant regulations under the World Trade Organization," a spokesman for the ministry said in a statement on its Website. "We firmly oppose such action."
The us inter-agency Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements said it would rule in January on whether to impose quotas on 21 categories of Chinese textiles and garments involved in the latest petitions it accepted after probes.
Nine of the petitions want to extend safeguards implemented by the US government but are due to expire at the end of this year. The other four cases cover new categories.
Such safeguards cap Chinese import growth at 7.5 percent annually to control surging Chinese textile inflows following the expiration of a global quota system.
The ministry spokesman said China hoped US would review the move from the perspective of overall bilateral interests and deal with the problem in a "prudent and considerate manner."
The ministry, meanwhile, also hailed the US decision to adjourn a finding until November 30 on whether to slap safeguards on four categories of Chinese textile imports.
The four categories include Chinese imports of cotton and man-made fiber sweaters, cotton and man-made fiber dressing gowns and robes, men's and boys' wool trousers and knit fabric.
