China appeals to WTO member countries not to restrict trade February 8 at 8:14

At a meeting of the World Trade Organization on Wednesday, China urged member countries not to restrict trade at a WTO meeting on Wednesday, as concerns about a further slowdown in China caused by the spread of the new coronavirus.

A Chinese representative said, "I hope that Member States will not overreact to the new coronavirus and unnecessarily restrict trade with China. If it spreads, its side effects are inevitable. "

He sought the understanding of each country while continuing to share information in a highly transparent manner.

In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, more than 20 countries have begun restricting travel and trade with China, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
