Wang: US-Sino-tire violation of WTO rules to take special sa

September 13, against the United States right tire products exports to the U.S. regarding the implementation of special protection to attend the Summer Davos Forum, Vice Chairman of the China Trade Promotion Council, said the U.S. government announced that China's exports to the U.S. tire products adopt special safeguard measures in violation of the World trade rules, is the performance of the re-emergence of trade protectionism.

Wang Jinzhen said the United States, this attitude will greatly affect the normal development of Sino-US trade. This is the financial crisis in the context of new trade protectionism performance, will be detrimental to the new economic and trade order. I believe the next step the Chinese government to make further representations on this matter in conjunction with the United States.

In his view, the case for the special protection, there are two solutions, one is outside of the WTO. If the two governments can reach an agreement on this issue, very good solution to this problem, unnecessary appeals to WTO. But if the real issue is not resolved, China will also consider the use of WTO mechanisms to resolve these issues.

In addition, he also called on the United States able to fully communicate with the Chinese government: "China is an open market, foreign tires have a large investment and that this market environment and competitive cost advantages of very important relationship. Hope the United States be able to fully communicate with the Chinese government to jointly build a harmonious trade order. "

Standing in the position of China Trade Promotion Council, Wang Jinzhen noted that, as trade associations and other relevant departments should further intensify our propaganda is conducive to the development of the industry, these have to do some publicity, so that overseas understand the situation in China.

The tires in the interpretation of the background of the case of special protection, Wang Jinzhen said that China is the anti-dumping, trade protectionism, the main countries affected, and now, as the developed countries, including the United States, the European Union our country have carried out anti-dumping measures. He considered that it might have a variety of reasons, such as products manufactured in China is relatively more or relatively low-tech products, these products due to labor cost reasons, in developed countries has actually does not produce. "For example, shoe-making industry, the value of a pair of shoes is not high, if the 50 dollars, 40 dollars, like this industry, the U.S. per capita GDP has been to 4 more than one trillion U.S. dollars in the country, and its labor costs can not be supported by the assets of the pairs of shoes . "

He explained that such products to developing countries such as China, the transfer will be a trend. Including China, as one is caught near the middle levels of developing countries, there are more advantages than China, the cost of production country. Therefore, there are some low-cost industries, products, may also be transferred to these countries, of course, may also be transferred to the central and western regions of China, which is possible.

The tire special protection cases by April 20 this year, United Steelworkers of America to the United States International Trade Commission filed a motion caused by the motion calls for the Chinese tires for special safeguard investigation, the total value of 1.7 billion. April 29, the U.S. International Trade Commission officially launched special safeguard investigations. September 12 the U.S. government formally announced the adoption of this bill.
