Anti-Dumping In International Trade And Research On China's Countermeasures

Dumping and anti-dumping is an international economic phenomenon, which came into being a long time ago and has been constantly changing to the world's economic development. With the worldwide rise of trade protectionism during the 1970s, anti-dumping has evolved into an effective weapon adopted by the import country for the aim of trade protection. With the tendencies of a consolidating globalization and economic integration, the furtherance of multilateral trade mechanism and the consistent effort taken by countries in opening up to the world, many new circumstances and features in the dumping and anti-dumping field have emerged into world's attention. The anti-dumping obstacle set before China, as a developing export country of full potentiality, during the past 20 years, has tremendously impaired her increase in export in this regard.This thesis is aimed at suggesting countermeasures to anti-dumping against China by import countries. Chapter one deals with the causes, forms and economic impacts of dumping and anti-dumping. Chapter two makes an analysis on the internal and external factors of anti-dumping against the Chinese products. Chapter three gives an insight into the discriminating practices carried out by import countries when starting an anti-dumping litigation against China. Chapter four focuses on the countermeasures against anti-dumping from the view of government and enterprises respectively.The following is the major viewpoints in the thesis: anti-dumping has developed into one of the major forms of trade barriers, which has its root deeply set into the economy and its internal features; the backward managerial style of Chinese enterprises constitutes the primary internal cause of the severe situation in which they have been suffering from anti-dumping; the discriminating practices violate, in essence, the relative WTO principles; to break the anti-dumping barrier, the Chinese government should straighten out the export practices, build up trade and business associations, and appeal to the WTO dispute settlement body. As for enterprises, they should alter their marketing strategies and strengthen the cooperation with international business entities.
