对华越野轮胎反倾销引争议

China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) on Wednesday described a combined anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation by the United States into Chinese off-road tyres as wrong.

The U.S. Department of Commerce decided Tuesday that it would launch anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probes simultaneously into China-made off-road tyres.

It was the fifth such probe the U.S. had launched against Chinese imports in less than a year, said MOC spokesman Wang Xinpei, adding the frequent dual investigations were an abuse of World Trade Organization rules.

The U.S launched the dual investigations into China-made coated free sheet paper in March, and carbon steel tubes in June, and into light-walled rectangular pipes and tubes and laminated woven sacks in July.

Wang said the probes were unfair to Chinese industry and unhelpful to the development of a mutually beneficial Sino-U.S. trade relationship. He added it was an "unwise, wrong move".

China hoped the U.S. would make tangible efforts to tackle the problem and avoid making Sino-U.S. trade issues more complicated, said Wang.

As the U.S. did not treat China as a market economy, the use of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures infringed U.S. rules and its tradition of not adopting anti-subsidy measures against non-market economies, which had been practiced for more than two decades, Wang said on July 20.　

周三，中国商务部就美国对中国越野轮胎进行反倾销和反津贴事件进行了一番批评，认为这一调查是错误的 。周二，美国商务部决定对中国产越野轮胎同时进行反倾销和反津贴调查。中国商务部新闻发言人王新培表示，这是近一年来美国第五次对中国出口货物进行的调查，频繁的调查是一种无视世贸规则的违法行为。中国生产的光面纸在三月被美国展开调查，碳素钢管七月进行了调查，八月还对薄壁矩形钢管和复合编织袋进行了反倾销及反补贴调查。王表示，这些调查不仅对中国的制造商不公平，对中美双方的贸易合作也是不利的。另外，他还补充说，这是不明智和错误的选择。　王还说，中方希望美方可以尽早采取明确的措施来解决这一问题，避免中美双方贸易问题进一步复杂化。七月二十日，王表示，美国二十多年来的一贯做法是，不对非经济体制国家采取任何反津贴措施。美方的反倾销及反补贴调查违反了美国有关规定和它的传统作风。这只能说明一点，美方并不把中国看作是市场经济体制的国家。
