Citing the speech prepared to be delivered at the WTO trade review policy of China, Reuters reported that the US will note that they cannot ignore reports of China’s use of forced labour in several sectors.

"China's other unfair trade practices include preferential treatment for state enterprises, data restrictions, inadequate enforcement of intellectual property rights and cyber theft."
