‘Idiotic nonsense’: China reacts to US hint at WTO ‘eviction’

A hint from Washington that the US could “evict” China from the World Trade Organisation was “idiotic nonsense”, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said. The comments were made after remarks by Kevin Hassett, chairman of US President Donald Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. Hasset earlier hinted that China could be kicked out of the WTO as Beijing had “misbehaved” since becoming a member.
