The World Trade Organization made public its first official condemnation of Chinese commercial practices yesterday, releasing a February ruling that sided with the United States, the European Union and Canada in a dispute over car parts.

It's demand: "The dispute settlement body requests China bring these inconsistent measures ... into conformity with its obligations."
