"China has agreed to halt subsidies to wind power manufacturers that violate World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, according to US Trade Representative Ron Kirk.

The move comes after the United Steelworkers Union filed a complaint to the WTO.

The Chinese currently subsidise wind-power firms that use domestic parts instead of imports."
