Agriculture is dependent on the development of human existence on the basis of industry, the stability of agriculture is directly related to the our country development and security. Although China has a huge agricultural producers and agricultural production, but the country still remains a weak agricultural base, the national agricultural industrialization has not yet fully formed, also agriculture and other industries, like the whole country is in a period of adjustment of industrial upgrading. In terms of agricultural subsidies, China’s domestic agricultural subsidies confusion, the central and local subsidies of various types of subsidies without a clearly standard, resulting in agricultural subsidies in the domestic support in our country is not fully integrated into the legal framework. agricultural enterprises across the country are striving to export local "leader" in order to get the governments more offers support and financial subsidies, this complete with volume and price advantage of export competition is very vulnerable to countervailing or anti-dumping investigation. In January 2013 the United States for the first time to China’s agricultural countervailing investigation, actively responding to the strong support of our business as well as the Ministry of Commerce, the US International Trade Commission made a final negative final determination. Because the United States and Western countries to China in recent years, anti-subsidy and anti-dumping the "blowout" in the face of China’s agricultural product market competition unfavorable situation, I believe that our domestic support in the agricultural subsidies in many places there is a considerable improvement and can learn place.In this paper, choose domestic support "three box" rules "blue box" rules perspective, "Blue Box" is a product of the interests of big power game, its existence and "green box" nature of the obligation to cut from the same, but its also has international trade in agricultural products in the "green box" subsidies are not exempt from reductions in trade-distorting match. After it was completely developed using the Group. Developed countries because of its own long-term surplus agricultural products, so take advantage of the "blue box" rules "justifiably" to exempt from cuts to domestic farm itself to gain a competitive advantage.First, the author of "blue box" formation and make a whole trend analysis. Determined from the Uruguay Round of WTO "Agreement on Agriculture" to subsequent Doha Round "framework agreement", to show the "blue box" formation and development, which we can see the "blue box" rules are done in developed syndicates under their respective reforms, including "blue box" support for developing countries in fact a lot of the benefits seem most developing countries are not able to use this support. It has also become the focus of the Doha talks the two sides in the field of agriculture has been controversial, and that the Doha Round has been stalled, and finally talk about the end of 2008, "agricultural model agreement" under the financial crisis as well as the agricultural negotiations in Bali at the end of 2013, the analysis " New trends and developments in the blue box " rules of development, namely, the group of developed countries in crisis have reduced their next level of agricultural subsidies, agricultural negotiations will be a new turning point.Second, I will describe the major developed economies such as the US, the EU countries from the "blue box" to find out how to support the evolution of trends in its legal basis to adjust their domestic agricultural subsidies in developed countries will always be able to draw on the basis of a new round of WTO negotiations results of the use in its own domestic legislation, and constantly update their domestic subsidies law and policy to ensure that their agricultural producers and international agricultural trade interests. However, for some developing countries, due to their own laws lag and make full use of WTO rules do not make their own agricultural products in the international market competitiveness is not strong, but for some developing countries such as India and Brazil are actively building their own domestic support the legal system for China provided some valuable to learn from it.Finally, based on the "blue box" trends and nations for the "blue box" support experience domestic legislation, concluded that our country should have countermeasures: foreign country should always adhere to the principle of the position and the developing countries, The emerging forces in today’s US and European countries in financial difficulties, a substantial reduction in agricultural subsidies today, find the breakthrough urge developed countries to reduce the "blue box" apply. On the other hand, due to the "blue box" rules of the group of developed countries will not agree to cancel, "Blue Box" has some advantages for our agricultural products operate legally reserved channels can livestock and grain producing areas in the Northeast and Use to be a pilot project on Reforestation. So the pilot move the process forward, "agricultural subsidies Law", because the focus of agricultural subsidies or legal and institutionalized, as agricultural trading nation, our country should be timely for the entire agriculture to adjust and optimize the legal system, the formation of a full complement of Agriculture legal system, in future international trade is no longer fall tongue. At the same time, to defend the rights and interests of domestic agricultural producers and the development of agriculture, which together form the inside and outside, for long-term healthy development of China’s agricultural trade has laid a solid legal rules of the internal and external environment.
