Last year, I was anti-dumped to create the world's top oil and chemical industry is still the main industry involved

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce on January 16 that in 2005 China encountered 51 anti-dumping investigations involving 1.79 billion U.S. dollars, and for 11 consecutive years it has become the country with the most anti-dumping investigations in the world. The oil and chemical industry is still the main industry involved in anti-dumping against China. According to incomplete statistics, last year China's oil and chemical industries encountered about 20 anti-dumping investigations abroad.
It is understood that in 2005, China has also encountered seven special security cases initiated by foreign countries. The amount involved was 220 million US dollars; there were 5 safeguard measures and the amount involved was 0.9 billion US dollars.
In the past year, in addition to the frequent use of technological trade measures and intellectual property protection measures by developed countries, some developing countries have also used import bans and customs valuation methods to set limits on Chinese exports. The surveys and threats of special safeguards in the Americas have increased in the Americas; investigations on trade remedy in the European Union and the United States remain high, and Europe and the United States are stricter in applying anti-dumping rules; the Asian, African and Latin American developing countries frequently investigate trade remedy A total of 37 trade remedy investigations were initiated.
Last year, China's petroleum and chemical industries were still the focus of foreign anti-dumping. At the same time, some new features have emerged in the trade frictions encountered. The most prominent is the expansion of the scope of anti-dumping of chemical products in China. Some developing countries have also joined in the anti-dumping of chemical products. In 2005, South Africa, Mexico, and India successively carried out anti-dumping investigations on China's tire products. In addition to the previous four countries of Turkey, Egypt, Peru, and Venezuela, a total of seven countries launched anti-dumping investigations on the Chinese tire industry from 2001 to 2005. And most of them are developing countries, covering Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This is unique in other industries in our country. Moreover, after a country initiated anti-dumping on my tire products, another country immediately followed suit. According to industry analysts, this is largely due to the convergence of chemical products from developing countries with China's products in terms of grades, quality, and scale, which makes it easier to create competition and trigger anti-dumping investigations.
What is gratifying is that for anti-dumping cases filed abroad, China’s oil and chemical companies have evolved from the initial 'not to take action' and under the guidance of chambers of commerce and associations 'negative responding' to the current 'active demand association'. Respond'.
