The Research On American Anti-dumping Acts On China And Chinese Corresponding Strategies

From the effectiveness of the GATT in 1948 to 1999, there are 4100 anti-dumping cases all over the world. There have been a great increase in using the anti-dumping methods since 1990, and the amount of antidumping cases is also increased very fast. From the first case filed by EU against Chinese export of saccharin in august 1979 to the December 2001, there were 477 cases against China filed by 29 countries from America, EU and other areas. China is already become a country that encountered the biggest number of anti-dumping cases in the world.With the execution of the opening-up policy, China' s foreign trade is increasing very fast, and China' s status in world trade fields is also greatly increased with the time passing on. At the same time, some countries also made Chinese exports as their first anti-dumping target. Because of the frequent investigations and the execution of anti-dumping measures against Chinese product, the overseas market of Chinese exporting product has become smaller and smaller, some of the products has even lost its shares in the international market, Chinese enterprise has suffered great losses. As the incomplete statistics show, Chinese enterprises has lost some 10 billion US$ directly caused by the anti-dumping cases filed by the foreign countries against China. In the expectable long periods of times in the future,the increase of anti-dumping cases against China may be the major obstacle to the development of Chinese foreign trade.According to the latest statistics of WTO, the value of the anti-dumping cases filed by the United States against other nations in the year 2003 is nearly lbillion us$, of which 92% is against China. According to the statistic materials of American international trade commission, China has become one of the ten main anti-dumping target ofthe U.S., especially after China' s enter into the WTO, China has become the first target of the U. S. by the end of November 2003, Chinese government and the enterprises have suffered great losses, and it has severely affected the normal operation of enterprises and the smoothly execution of China' s economic strategy.In view of the severe situation that China has confronted, we have to strengthen the study on American anti-dumping laws and stipulations.

' s anti-dumping measures against China, especially focus on some main points such as the recognition of China' s economic system, the confirmation of anti-dumping, the existence of cause and effect relations between dumping and damage, as well as U. S. ' s technical skills in the executing procedure in complementing the anti-dumping measures. Then the author provided with some suggestions on the measures that our government, enterprises and trade union should be taken in compare with the above research.. I hope that this thesis can do some help to the government and the related respects in dealing with the related problems.
