China agreed to end hundreds of millions of dollars of subsidies to wind-power manufacturers following a complaint the U.S. filed at the World Trade Organization, the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office said.

China’s Special Fund for Wind Power Manufacturing illegally required aid recipients to use Chinese-made parts, the U.S. said in a case filed in December at the WTO after getting a complaint from the United Steelworkers union. Individual grants were for as much as $22.5 million.
