The Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference today, and spokesman Sun Jiwen responded to the hot issues concerned by the domestic and foreign media. A reporter asked: recently, in a document published by the WTO, it was mentioned that China proposed to tighten the rules on when countries can levy anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties, it is said that these taxes are increasing and often abused, and distort international trade. What is the response from the Ministry of Commerce?
Sun Jiwen said that according to the authorization of the Doha negotiation, the rule negotiation includes three aspects: anti-dumping, subsidies, anti-subsidy and fishery subsidies. Anti-dumping and anti-subsidy issues have always been the main content of rule negotiations and the core component of Doha development agenda. At present, the world economic recovery is slow and trade protectionism is on the rise. Due to the uncertainty and ambiguity of the current rules and the development of trade relief unilateralism, improper use of anti-dumping and countervailing measures frequently occurs, it has caused serious disruption to international trade and the domestic markets of the members under investigation, and the WTO disputes caused by it are increasing.
Sun Jiwen pointed out that under this situation, in order to implement the Doha negotiation authorization and clarify and strengthen the existing discipline, China put forward a proposal on anti-dumping and anti-subsidy based on the basis and consensus of previous negotiations, promote rule negotiations in a balanced manner, thus promoting the healthy development of the multilateral trading system.
Sun Jiwen mentioned that the WTO rules negotiation team is currently discussing extensively the disciplines related to fishery subsidies in the rules negotiation, but it is not discussing the fishery subsidies of China or a specific member. China believes that the issues of fishery subsidies, anti-dumping and anti-subsidy are all part of the Doha round of rule negotiations and should be promoted in a balanced manner. China has always abided by the authorization of Doha negotiations, fully and actively participated in the negotiations on anti-dumping, subsidies, anti-subsidy and fishery subsidies, and is committed to promoting the negotiation of rules to achieve comprehensive and balanced results, maintain and develop the multilateral trading system based on rules.
