A WTO appeals body rejected China's appeal of a ruling in July that concluded the Asian economic powerhouse had violated international trade rules. The appeals body largely sided with the United States, Europe and Mexico, which had taken issue with Chinese restrictions on its exports of nine materials used widely in the steel, aluminum and chemical industries.

But China had argued that its export limits were needed to protect the environment.

The ruling affects China's exports of certain forms of bauxite, coke, fluorspar, magnesium, manganese, silicon carbide, silicon metal, yellow phosphorous and zinc.
