WTO Has Full Hands

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an international body that monitors exactly what one would expect, trade. The WTO is the driving force behind balancing many of the international trade agreements and relationships between the various nations in the world. In the most recent couple of years though the WTO has had two issues that have not found an effective and fast resolution and the countries involved refuse to even come to the table and negotiate a compromise. The nations in question, the United States and China, are both using the morality card to create and sustain the current international issues. For the US, the issue comes down to the foreign online casino gambling industry, and for China, the issue lies within the nation’s blocking of nearly all media from the United States.

The Chinese government has a history of restrictive communist policies that don’t exactly fly with international organizations. During the Bush Administration the US had similar issues related to the controversial federal legislation that blocks offshore online casinos from entering the US gambling market. In both of these cases the WTO has ruled that the policies break trade agreements and international policies and the WTO has ordered both China and the US to put and end to their respective issues. In the US case, the WTO asked for the country to adopt new online casino policies nearly three years ago.

In China, again, the situation is similar. The WTO is forced to continually request that the nation alter its policies and hope for the best. The Chinese government is very restrictive in nearly every area, with a block of online casinos also in place. The internet gambling sites are not the crux of the issue however, it’s the lack of media that is able to penetrate the strong blocks and restrictions that hold in China’s marketplace.
