China files 25 anti-dumping cases since 1997 ( 2003-09-14 09:22) (Xinhua)
China has registered a total of 25 anti-dumping cases against overseas producers since 1997, when it issued its regulation on anti-dumping and subsidies, an anti-dumping official said on Saturday. Wang Qinhua, chief of the Bureau of Industry Injury of Investigation of China's Department of Commerce, said half of the cases were filed after China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. He spoke during a forum on the sidelines of the China Beijing International Science and Technology Industrial Expo, from Sept. 12-15. The ministry had ruled on 11 of the cases, and imposed anti-dumping tariffs on the imported goods from the overseas producers involved, and terminated dumping investigation on two cases following no injury rulings, said the official. The ministry has made preliminary rulings on seven of the cases, and is still in the process of investigating four remaining cases. The number of anti-dumping cases is not large, but the move has produced such positive effects as curbing dumping by some overseas producers, said the official. On anti-dumping charges against Chinese manufacturers by overseas countries, the official said overseas countries had launched a total of 500 by the end of 2002, costing China dozens of billions of losses in direct exports. The number of anti-dumping cases against China accounts for 14 percent of the world's total, ranking first in the world. Anti-dumping moves against China have become one of the major obstacles to the development of China's foreign trade, he said. Wang said China will make better use of the trade dispute mechanism of the
World Trade Organization to protect the interests and rights of Chinese firms.
