Abstract
China finds itself in a unique situation
on antidumping and safeguard issues. It is by far the main
target of antidumping measures, but (so far) one of the
smallest users of such measures. China's World Trade
Organization (WTO) accession protocol includes stringent
antidumping and safeguard provisions that its trading
partners may use against its exports. The article examines
three related concerns: how quickly large developing
economies can become intensive users of antidumping
measures, an evolution raising concerns about China's
recent antidumping enforcement; how China could minimize its
exposure to foreign antidumping cases, a recipe for both
improving trade outcomes and for China's taking a
leading role in reforming WTO antidumping; and the
opportunities that the Doha round of trade negotiations
offer to China for negotiating stricter disciplines both on
WTO contingent protection and on the use by China's
trading partners of the special provisions included in
China's accession protocol.
