Minister of Commerce

When Chen Deming answered questions about "US countervailing duty against China", the amendment bill passed by the United States Congress not only failed to comply with international rules, but also did not conform to the laws of the United States.

He also stressed that China adheres to the rules of the WTO and has no obligation to comply with the internal laws and regulations of a country exceeding these international organization rules.


Speaking of the United States accusing China of "failing to abide by the rules" and "subsidizing", Chen Deming said that the recent US presidents, ministers and members of Congress have accusations of "China's failure to abide by the rules" and the focus of the accusation is China's "subsidy behavior".


Chen Deming said, about

Subsidy problem

The WTO rules divide subsidies into two categories: prohibition and actionable subsidies. Most of the WTO members also have different kinds of subsidies.

For example, after the economic crisis, the United States subsidized some government financial funds to the three largest auto companies and other industries.

China has not criticized such phenomena and has not launched large-scale countervailing actions because it has followed the repeated call of the G20 summit and failed to introduce new means of protection during the financial crisis.

Chen Deming said that the US's constant accusation against the Chinese government is often a "you do not abide by the rules". As to which specific aspects and which areas do not abide by the rules, they are seldom involved.

"I hope we can have a dialogue on the issue of subsidies and those who blame us, and we can communicate with each other about the understanding of the subsidy in the case."


Chen Deming said that the United States has launched an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation in China since 2006, and launched 31 cases, of which 24 cases have received double high tariffs on us and prevented Chinese goods from going to the United States.

Finally, Chinese enterprises won the Commerce Department of the United States.

But the US Department of Commerce, which has been blaming others for not following the rules, has not followed the rules to correct its own mistakes.

The United States Congress passed the amendment bill recently, which stipulates that countervailing can be applied to non market economy countries, and at the same time, it can be traced back to 2006.

As we all know, most of the laws in the world are not allowed to trace back to the past. "Such a Congress stipulates that such a behavior of the US Department of commerce is not only inconsistent with international rules, but also does not conform to the laws of the United States."

Chen Deming said that he hoped to accuse other countries, departments and law enforcement agencies that did not abide by the rules and subsidies, and could be strict with themselves and correct their own mistakes.

US House of Representatives passed tariff amendment


Xinhua news agency, Washington, March 6, the United States House of Representatives voted on the 6 day to adopt the amendment of the 1930 year tariff law, thus clearing the United States' so-called "China and Vietnam".

Non market economy countries

The legal obstacles to the punitive tariffs imposed by commodities.


The house of Representatives passed the amendment on the same day with 370 votes in favour and 39 votes against it.

This amendment clearly gives the US trade enforcement authorities the right to impose anti-dumping or countervailing duties on goods from non market economy countries.

Since the Senate passed the bill on the 5 day, the bill has been submitted to President Obama.

After signing Obama, the bill will become law.


The Chinese government has repeatedly asked the United States to recognize China's market economy status.

As of September 2011, 81 countries in the world recognized China's full market economy status.
