Analysis Of Practical Functions And Comparison Of Criteria Used In Anti-dumping

By comparative study and functional analysis, this dissertation makes comments on anti-dumping laws of World Trade Organization (WTO), the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), seeks true nature and living significance of anti-dumping law, offers suggestion for practicing China anti-dumping law. In my opinion, US and EU antidumping laws only have a purpose that protects domestic industries and markets by restricting entry. WTO Anti-dumping law shows the biggest compromise in both the member states of WTO and hberahzation# of global trade. It is a non-tariff barner that is a component part of national trade policies. Its nature is protectionism. To protect domestic industries, importing countries carry out anti~dumping law and drive lower-price products from foreign countries out of domestic markets. But, anti-dumping measure also keeps domestic industries lazy, damages interest of consumers and downstream industries and incurs welfare losses on the importing countries as a whole. So many scholars advocate abolition of anti-dumping law. The author does not think it is possible to abolish anti-dumping law within the current WTO framework. Anti-dumping law still ha value of existence. According to these analyses, china that is going to join in WTO should rational treat and carry out anti-dumping law.
