Abstract
With the deepening of the trade distribution between great powers, such as the US-China trade war, there are a lot of problems with the system of the WTO. The WTO should be reformed to address these problems. This paper specifies the reforms of the WTO Dispute Settlement System from the perspective of the Appellate Body. It expounds on the background of the suspension of the Appellate Body, the US's claims on the Appellate Body, and the necessity to function the Appellate Body. Finally, several measures to reform the Appellate Body, such as establishing the compliance committee and the vote selection system, monetary compensation, and recovering credibility, are put forward in this paper.
