Japan has submitted a set of reform proposals to the World Trade Organization (WTO) that seek to change the organization's unanimous decision-making process. The proposed reforms aim to facilitate agreements among some member states, addressing the WTO's current challenges in reaching consensus. Additionally, Japan's proposals include regulating unclear subsidies, with particular attention to practices involving China. These reforms are intended to be adopted by 2028 as part of efforts to improve the WTO's functionality.
