The AB report for the Auto Parts case has just been released to the public. Not surprisingly, the AB affirmed the Panel on almost all accounts. However, by refusing to affirm the panel on the Art.

It is interesting to see whether China will try to exploit this loophole when the time comes for enforcement.
