Comment on "WTO ruling on China not justifiable" (China Daily, Feb 6)

It's unfair that Western countries are pressuring China to export more rare earth without easing their own export quotas. It's a pity that even today the international community is controlled by a handful of countries and regions control.

The World Trade Organization is not as fair as people thought it to be, which is a shame. It's a widely known fact in the international market that the United States and the European Union have the strictest export restrictions.

The US has not only imposed strict, wide-ranging restrictions on China, but also is pressuring its allies to follow suit through the Wassenaar Arrangement, according to which all signatories have to restrict their exports of certain technologies.

China should fight back to protect its interests.
