U World Pipe network informed.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk has more bluntly, at a congressional hearing this year, the Obama administration to China and other trading partners to initiate more trade remedy investigations, and by the Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue, China-US Joint Commission will wait for platform urging China to open markets. It is foreseeable that Sino-US trade friction in the election year will be more frequent.
A day earlier, the United States ruled that Chinese exports to the U.S. steel wheels to the existence of dumping and subsidies, that the margin of dumping, subsidies in the range of 25.66% -38.32% 44.96% -193.54%.
"Double reverse" every year, can be as so often this year, or the first time. In addition to the "dual" trade remedy, the United States in the administrative and legal levels, strengthening of trade sanctions, which indicates that the apparent warming of US-China trade protectionism. From a motivation point of view, the number of U.S. trade remedy actions behind, in addition to the obvious economic factors and more in an election year political interests considerations.
China's increasing integration into the global economy, trade frictions have increased almost inevitable. Since the beginning of this year China suffered from the trade friction, involving 2.28 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 80%. We have 17 consecutive years as the country of the most experienced trade friction. Moreover, the form of trade friction constant renovation, involved in the industry continues to expand, initiated by the country continue to increase, including intellectual property rights, RMB exchange rate on the issue of entanglement and struggles.
Although many rulings of the "double reverse" investigation based on already begun, but the United States, intentionally or unintentionally postponed several times to make a ruling related products in China, resulting in less than 24 hours, the U.S. government for Chinese products made affirmative ruling.
In this regard, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce of Import and Export Fair Trade Bureau is responsible for 21 issued a statement that China urges the U.S World Pipe network informed. from a long-term cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win starting, carefully handle bilateral trade friction in the field of solar cells and other new energy to maintain Sino-US bilateral economic and trade relations between stable and harmonious development.
In fact, this year, the United States has many of our export trade remedy investigations involving products include application-level wind towers, auto parts, silicon metal products, steel high pressure cylinders, etc..
PV case the preliminary ruling on the same day, the U.S. Commerce Department announced the results of the galvanized steel wire to China anti-dumping anti-subsidy investigations the final ruling, the Chinese enterprises involved was convicted of 194% -235% of the high anti-dumping duties, and 19.06% -223.27% countervailing duties.
Is worth noting that, remove the external implementation of trade remedy action, the United States has also recently taken from the internal administrative and legislative measures to strengthen its capacity to implement trade protectionism. U.S. President Barack Obama signed on March 13, HR4105 bill authorizing the U.S. government can impose countervailing duties on non-market economy countries, including China, This act allows the U.S. Department of Commerce has been made against Chinese products, 24 countervailing ruling legalized.
In addition to the presidential election, the U.S. House of Representatives and one-third of the Senators this year, facing the general to Congress from the White House are trying to create public interest to defend their image. In the eyes of some U.S. politicians to create employment on the grounds brings up the banner of trade protectionism is the most effective means to fight for voters.
From 13 -20 May, just one week's time, the U.S. trade remedy actions against Chinese exports of up to six since the time is short, high frequency, it is rare. U.S. Department of Commerce preliminary ruling on the 20th local time, Chinese exports to the U.S. solar cell (board) subsidies behavior, its levy punitive tariffs of 2.9% -4.73%.
Although the U.S. trade remedy actions initiated by China have been common, but is the first time this year Recently so dense indeed. Therefore, the number behind the motivation of view, the U.S. trade remedy actions, in addition to the obvious economic factors, the consideration of more election-year political interests.
In addition, the U.S. Commerce Department to make two final determination of dumping identified the Chinese mainland and Taiwan exports to the U.S. chemical brighteners, finds that Chinese exports to the U.S. galvanized wire to the existence of dumping and subsidization. Meanwhile, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that the sunset review finds that the silicon metal imports from the Chinese market will cause continuing damage to U.S. industry in the foreseeable period of time, which the United States will continue to impose anti-dumping duties on such products.
