The Researches on Antidumping and Chinese Foreign Direct Investment

摘要

Nowadays, there are dramatic increase in antidumping (AD) cases against Chinese export products. China has become the world's biggest target for antidumping investigations. WTO (World Trade Organization) statistics indicate that since the early 1990s Chinese export products have attracted around 500 investigations that have resulted in more than 350 antidumping measures. Despite the Chinese government and exporters are focusing their efforts to avoid or minimize economic losses from AD cases, unfortunately, Chinese enterprises and authorities are short of mature experiences and effective measures that developed countries have skillfully grasped about coping with AD investigations. To minimize the adverse effects of antidumping, it is a very effective measure for China's firms to try to 'jump' the antidumping duties through foreign direct investment (FDI) in other countries. In this article, the author presents a model that shows the feasibility of antidumping jumping through FDI.
