Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., co-chair of the Senate Auto Caucus, issued the following statement today after the World Trade Organization announced it had found in favor of the United States in a challenge to China's treatment of U.S.-made autos:

"Today's WTO ruling confirms what we've known for a long time: that China's antidumping and countervailing duty cases against U.S. vehicle exports were without merit. It is laughable for China, the biggest dumping perpetrator in the world, to claim that U.S. vehicle exports are being sold in China below the cost of production when they are obviously not. Hopefully now there will be a renewed effort to open China's markets to our products and the WTO will move quickly to rule on the pending cases against China's trade barriers."
