However as tariffs have fallen and international trade tends to be free trade, countries have found another way of protecting domestic industries from foreign competition—non-tariff protection. Among them anti-dumping is the most controversial subject that is involved in the foreign trade. This theme will analyze the reason and effect of growing use anti-dumping measures by countries in recent decades and try to give some possible solutions.展开更多

The paper highlights the severity and discriminatory nature of China's anti-dumping problems. The high concentration of the share of anti-dumping actions taken by the top 4 and top 8 anti-dumping initiators is noted. Our finding of a weak effect of existing RTAs on mitigating China 's anti-dumping problems supports the argument that China could become more active in mitigating anti-dumping problems through RTA negotiations. An RTA can include a higher level of openness in exchange for an improvement in regional anti-dumping provisions. Case studies on RTAs involving the EU, the USA and India offer some precedents for offering inducements and modifying regional anti-dumping provisions. The approaches for China may lie in obtaining market economy status from intensive anti-dumping initiators at RTA levels and also altering regional anti-dumping provisions that could be put in place in exchange for some potential concessions.展开更多

Since then, China has become one of the most important trade partners of the EU countries. However, the increasingly strengthening trade relationship and China's official entrance into the WTO unexpectedly leads to many more trade disputes between China and the EU in the era of globalization and free trade. This paper thus investigates the motive and outcome of the EU government's frequent resort to trade protectionism against products made in China.展开更多

We try to show the effect of anti-dumping measures in either direction on the total value of China’s trade. This paper finds that both have great impact on export trade value. The intensity of the level of anti-dumping measures to which China is subject is positively correlated with total export value since this intensity, to a certain degree, can promote China’s industrial upgrading and the increase of the export of high value-added products. This paper further analyzes different effects of anti-dumping measures based on the method of technological content classification of Lall (2000). Finally, we put forward policy suggestions on how to enhance China’s export competitiveness by overcoming the effects of antidumping measures to which we are subject and by making proper use of antidumping measures on others.展开更多
