Is China engaging in unfair practices in regards to trade and investment in green technologies? That is what the United Steelworkers (USW) union accuses the Asian nation of, and now the U.S. Office of the United States Trade Representative, which handles U.S. trade policy recommendations to the President, is looking into these claims, filed "under Section 301 of the trade law seeking the elimination of Chinese policies and practices that adversely affect U.S. producers and their workers in the clean energy sector."

The USW first filed a petition on Sept. 9 over this issue, stating that it believes China "employs a wide range of World Trade Organization (WTO)-inconsistent policies that protect and unfairly support its domestic producers of wind and solar energy products, advanced batteries and energy-efficient vehicles, among other products, as China seeks to become the dominant global supplier of these products."
