Have China's Antidumping Measures Dampened Foreign Antidumping against China?

As China soon became the chief target of global antidumping actions after it started the reform and opening-up program,to dampen foreign antidumping against the country is among the motives behind China's adoption and application of its own antidumping regulations.In this paper,using negative binomial and Poisson models,the authors develop a quantitative analysis of the antidumping initiations of 20 countries or regions against China in the period of 1995-2008 and find that China's antidumping actions against imports and it's endeavor to challenge foreign anti dumping by resorting to WTO dispute settlement mechanism have not dampened foreign antidumping against China effectively.In order to improve China's position in the global antidumping game,China should(1) support the reform of WTO antidumping rules to reduce importing countries' misuse of antidumping;(2) target antidumping against heavy foreign users;and(3) improve the capacity to positively use WTO dispute settlement mechanism to handle antidumping disputes.
