我鳖的报复措施来了：终止所有国企和米帝咨询公司的合同

我鳖的报复措施来了：终止所有国企和米帝咨询公司的合同。
根据米国《金融时报》等媒体的线人的消息，为了报复米帝控告数名PLA军官网络经济间谍一事，土鳖已经命令所有国有企业终止和米国包括麦肯锡在内的所有咨询公司的合同。终止合同的理由是这些咨询公司有间谍嫌疑。米帝媒体说，土鳖可以这样干是因为钻了WTO世贸条约里的一个空子，会有争议。

China Cuts Off McKinsey, Other U.S. Consultants To Retaliate Against Cyber Indictments

Today, the Financial Times, citing “people close to senior Chinese leaders,” reported that Beijing has ordered state enterprises to cut dealings with U.S. consulting firms, accusing them of spying for Washington.  The “instruction,” as the paper called it, was handed down after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced indictments against five Chinese military officers for “serious cybersecurity breaches.”

“The top leadership has proposed setting up a team of Chinese domestic consultants who are particularly focused on information systems in order to seize back this power from the foreign companies,” the paper quoted a “senior policy adviser to the Chinese leadership.”  “Right now the foreigners use their consulting companies to find out everything they want about our state companies.”

Beijing has not signed the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement, so the Chinese government is free to discriminate against foreign companies when it obtains goods or services.  Nonetheless, if the FT’s reporting is accurate, the instruction looks like a violation of the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services, especially when state enterprises act in a commercial as opposed to a government capacity.  In Part A of Annex 5 of that agreement, China undertook not to limit market access to “Management Consulting services” and agreed that foreign parties are entitled to “national treatment” with regard to such services.

Moreover, China, when it joined the WTO, confirmed that state enterprises would make purchases based “solely on commercial considerations, without any governmental influence or application of discriminatory measures.”  Furthermore, Beijing, in negotiating its entry into the government procurement agreement, is now arguing that purchases by state enterprises should not be covered by the pact.  In short, China’s ordering such enterprises to not do business with foreign consulting companies, as reported by the FT, is a clear violation of its WTO commitments.
