Study On Anti-dumping Dispute Settlement Mechanism

The original aim of anti-dumping is to prevent dumping behaviours, maintain the international economic orders, and protect the domestic industries that were damaged by dumping behaviors. However, the abuse of anti-dumping is detrimental for the maintenance of international economic orders and the development and progress of the world economy. Meanwhile, it goes against the original purposes of anti-dumping.Along with the development of the world economic integration, China's status in the world has been continuously rising. China is the largest developing country and the major emerging industrial and trading power. Since the reform and opening, especially since the 21st century, foreign countries put forward anti-dumping to Chinese export products increasingly. China has been the country with the most anti-dumping cases prosecution. Meanwhile, many foreign products enter Chinese market through dumping, which causes the impact and damage to Chinese relevant industries. As a member of WTO, we should make full use of WTO anti-dumping dispute settlement mechanism actively, reasonably and effectively. We should also respond to the anti-dumping litigations put forward by foreign countries, and reasonably use the related measures of anti-dumping to protect the domestic industries. Through certain cases, this thesis gives a further analysis of the related theories and rules of the WTO anti-dumping dispute settlement mechanism, and further illustrates some problems existing in the mechanism. On the basis of these analysis, this thesis puts forward some feasible suggestions to anti-dumping.Apart from introduction and conclusion, this thesis divides into four parts. First, briefly analysis the evolution process and the present situation and related theories of the WTO anti-dumping dispute settlement mechanism. The second part, do a more detailed analysis and discussion on panels, appellate body, arbitration and execution procedures. The third part, based on a brief review of the WTO anti-dumping dispute settlement mechanism, puts forward my opinions about the privacy problem of the mechanism, time limit problem, enforcement problem, developing member's benefit protection problems, and the improvement of the panels and appellate body. The last part, on the basis of three parts before, put forward the suggestions how to react the anti-dumping litigations, namely, give full play to the government, enterprises and industry associations, other organizations and individuals in the positive role.
