On July 15, the US Department of Commerce announced that it has officially launched a "double anti-" (anti-dumping, countervailing) investigation on Chinese-made tires. The product range includes cars, light truck tires and trailer tires. This is another trade barrier set by the United States for China's tire trade after the 2009 tire special protection case. In response to the US investigation on the "double-reverse" investigation of China's tires, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China said that in the case of serious applicant qualifications, the US tire companies do not support the filing of cases, and relevant industrial organizations oppose the filing of cases, the US side The "double-reverse" investigation was still launched on the above products, and the Chinese side expressed strong opposition to violations of the WTO rules and US domestic laws. Foresight review Previously, in June of this year, the United Steelworkers’ Federation represented the US passenger vehicle and light truck tire industry to submit an application to the US Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission for the launch of “double reverse†for passenger cars and light truck tires from China. survey. The representative of the United Steelworkers’ Federation said that the dumping of the above-mentioned products from China to the United States ranged from 45.80% to 87.99%, and the subsidy rate exceeded 2%. The US International Trade Commission is expected to make a preliminary ruling in August this year. If the committee decides that the above-mentioned products imported from China have caused substantial damage to the relevant industries in the United States, the US Department of Commerce will continue to investigate and plan to make preliminary judgments on countervailing duties and anti-dumping duties in September and December this year. Three prominent features Xu Wenying, vice president and secretary general of China Rubber Industry Association, pointed out that the "double opposition" case has three prominent features. First, the amount involved is large. In 2009, the tire special protection case involved a total of 2.1 billion US dollars, this time is more than 3.3 billion US dollars, is the largest amount of trade remedy measures in China's tire industry. Second, it lasts for a long time. The three-year high tariff expiration of the tire special protection case was over, and the “double-reverse†five-year sunset review. The previous “double-reverse†case for off-highway tires is a typical example. It has been seven years since it was filed in 2007. Third, the sanctions are strong. The tariff for the special case of the tire special case was 35% in the first year, and the applicant’s alleged dumping rate was as high as 60.15%, and the subsidy rate was 25.73%, which is indeed unprecedented. The impact of China’s tire industry has also taken action According to the US Department of Commerce, the total number of passenger and light truck tires imported from China last year was about $2.1 billion. Once the US "double-reverse" case against Chinese tires was established, the products involved in China could not be exported to the United States, which would affect nearly one million workers in the Chinese tire rubber products industry. In fact, since the news of the "double opposition" in June, Chinese tire companies have been affected, and orders from the United States have been reduced. But Chinese companies are not sitting still. The China Rubber Industry Association has organized several meetings to discuss this matter. At the same time, tire companies are actively cooperating, maintaining a high degree of consistency, and jointly uniting to negotiate with relevant US departments and provide a large amount of evidence. Chinese Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng made a public statement on July 17 to send a warning to the United States: "I strongly urge the US to face up to its long-term and systematic violation of the WTO rules and practices in the field of trade relief, and correct it in a timely and comprehensive manner. The wrong way of abusing trade remedy rules should not be a negative example of breaking the rules.†Gao Hucheng also said in the conversation that the WTO ruled that the US anti-dumping and countervailing measures against Chinese products exported to the United States violated WTO rules, and the Chinese government urged the US to stop. Acts that violate the legitimate interests of Chinese companies and correct the wrong practices of abuse of trade remedy rules. No war "war" In fact, this is not the first time that the United States has swept the trade sanctions to the Chinese tire industry. In September 2009, the United States imposed a three-year special safeguard measure on Chinese tires, and China’s tire exports to the US fell by more than 60%. In the meantime, the United States did not benefit either. According to a special report from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a well-known research institution in the United States, during the three years of implementing special safeguard measures, there were only 1,200 new jobs in the US tire industry. At the same time, however, US consumers have spent more than $1.1 billion on extra spending, and the US retail industry lost more than 3,700 jobs. The initiative is in the Chinese side. Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, believes that the "double-reverse" investigation of tires initiated by the United States may not succeed. On July 7, the World Trade Organization supported China's claim that it ruled that the US Department of Commerce's 25 anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations against China between 2006 and 2012 failed to make adjustments to avoid double relief, in violation of WTO rules. At the same time, China urged the US to withdraw all relevant countervailing measures. In this context, the United States can no longer sanction Chinese tires as it did in 2009. This time, the initiative should be in China.
