A Study On Anti-dumping Laws Of China

Since the beginning of 20th century, especially after the multilateral trade systems of GATT(General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) in 1948, anti-dumping measurement had become one of the important non-tariff trade measurement adopted by many countries to protect domestic relative industries and market order. With the establishment of WTO(World Trade Organization) and the globalization of international trade, the importance of anti-dumping measurement for national economy is growing rapidly.

China has issued regulation for anti-dumping to change this circumstance in 1997. At present, the anti-dumping legislations of China are mostly consisted by the regulation issued in 2001 and the relative rules and measures made on the base of that regulation. Chinese anti-dumping legislations have adopted many clauses and judicial experiences of western developed countries and WTO, and up to now, in practice have protected market order and domestic industries very efficiently, although have many problems including low level of anti-dumping regulation, obscurity in judging dumping and damage, and the lack of judicial procedure.China has joined to WTO in 2001.
