The Trade Effects of US Anti-dumping Actions against China Post-WTO Entry

摘要

According to the Global Antidumping Database, between 2001, when China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO), and 2009, the US initiated 76 anti-dumping (AD) cases against China and imposed AD measures in 59 of those cases. Whether measured by the number of AD investigations or by the number of AD duties, China has been the biggest target of US anti-dumping actions. During this period, the US had initiated 38 single petitions and 38 multiple petitions against China; in other words, half of the US petitions against China are multiple petitions.
