China must make greater efforts to overcome trade disputes with its World Trade Organization (WTO) partners, Jesus Kuri, one of several candidates to be the new WTO chief, told CNBC, Tuesday. China entered the WTO in 2001, after 15 years of negotiations. “There are issues with China that China needs to make a greater, clear contribution to resolve those issues between them and everybody else,” Jesus Seade Kuri, the Mexican nominee to replace Ricardo Azevedo as the WTO director general, told CNBC’s Julianna Tatelbaum. He is one of eight candidates in the race to replace Ricardo Azevedo at the Swiss-based institution, after the latter decided to leave the institution a year before the end of his mandate. This trust has been lost completely,” Kuri told CNBC.
