October 2010 has seen accusations from the United States that the Chinese government is following illegal trade practices in the promotion of it’s Clean Energy and Green Technology sectors. Following a petition from the United Steel Workers Union and the American Association of Manufacturers, the White House’s Trade Representative initiated an investigation under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. This may, after a 90 day fact-gathering period, lead to consultations with the Chinese government and referral to the World Trade Organization.
