WTO成立以来日本的反倾销摩擦及其特点分析

An Analysis of Japan’s Antidumping Conflicts and Its Characteristics Since the foundation of WTO

日本是世界上最早实施反倾销制度的国家之一。然而,自WTO成立以来,在美国和欧盟等发达国家或地区纷纷采用反倾销手段保护本国产业、国际反倾销摩擦愈演愈烈的大背景下,同为发达国家的日本却很少对外国进口产品发起反倾销调查,相反,日本却是世界上遭受反倾销调查最多的国家之一。因此,WTO成立以来日本的反倾销摩擦具有不同于其他国家尤其是发达国家的特点。本文从WTO成立以来日本对国外进口产品发起的反倾销调查和实施的反倾销措施以及日本出口产品遭受的国外反倾销调查和反倾销措施等方面,对日本反倾销摩擦做了实证分析,进而探讨了这一时期日本反倾销摩擦的特点及其成因,并相应提出了对中国有益的政策建议。

Japan is one of the earliest countries which implement antidumping systems. Since WTO＇s founding, however, when most developed countries, including the U.S. and E.U., have frequently taken antidumping measures to protect their domestic industries, making the international antidumping conflicts increasingly intense, Japan rarely initiates antidumping investigation on imports. Just the reverse, Japan is one of the countries subjecting to most antidumping investigations. Therefore, its antidumping conflicts are quite different from those of other countries, especially of the developed countries. This paper empirically analyzes Japan＇s antidumping conflicts since the foundation of WTO, from the perspective of antidumping investigations and measures by and against Japan. Characteristics of the conflicts and the causes of these characteristics are subsequently examined, and moreover, propositions are made for China＇s policy making.
