Beijing-based analyst David Daokui Li said the WTO's capacity to resolve disputes might have diminished in recent years, but China's lawsuit buys it time to negotiate. Meanwhile, Mr Stephen Olson, a visiting fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, shared more about the potential impact of the WTO lawsuit.
