采取反倾销、反补贴和保障措施(简称"两反一保")等贸易救济措施是WTO规则赋予的权利,也是中国"两反一保"条例赋予的法定手段。其立法宗旨就是在相关产业受到进口损害时采取补救措施以维护产业的利益。从贸易实践来看,采取贸易救济措施是开放条件下相当普遍和普通的经济行为。本文系统介绍了美国味精反倾销和反补贴案的背景、程序和主要内容,对中国受进口冲击较大的产品及时采取"两反一保"等贸易救济措施,有效应对国外的贸易救济措施调查,切实维护产业利益,具有启示和借鉴意义。

WTO agreements allow governments to use anti-dumping measures and countervailing measures against negative effects caused by dumping or subsidies(prohibited subsidies and sometimes actionable subsidies),and use safeguard measures to protect a specific domestic industry from an increase in imports which is causing,or which is threatening to cause,serious injury to the industry.These measures are called trade remedy measures and are frequently applied by WTO members.This paper carries out a case study of the US' antidumping and countervailing investigations of imports of monosodium glutamate from China,as a reference for future trade remedy petition,case-file and investigation.
