At 7:00 p.m. Beijing time on August 8, national audiences saw Xu Wenying, the deputy secretary-general of the China Rubber Industry Association, and David Spoone, the US lawyer representing China's tire industry, appearing in Washington, China, on CCTV's news broadcast. The news on the hearing of the US Tire Special Protection Case; on the afternoon of August 13, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers held a press conference on the anti-dumping investigation of China's export of aluminum alloy wheels officially announced by the European Trade Commission, and the CCTV news broadcast that night.

When the special case for tires sold in the United States and anti-dumping investigations on the export of aluminum alloy wheels to the EU became a hot topic for discussion in August, many cases of automobile trade protection have actually occurred this year. With the gradual deepening of the international financial crisis, the phenomenon of international trade protection has gradually increased, bringing unpredictable impact on Chinese companies seeking to enter the international automobile market.
The Origin of Two Trade Protection Cases On April 20, 2009, the American Iron and Steel Workers Association filed an application to the US International Trade Commission (ITC) for special safeguard measures against Chinese commercial tires exported to the United States. On April 29th, ITC officially launched a The special security investigation of tire products; on June 18th, the United States made a definite damage ruling on the China Tire Special Protection Case; on June 29th, ITC proposed preliminary suggestions on remedial measures, and proposed that China’s tire products exported to the US be separated for three consecutive years. 55%, 45% and 35% tariffs are imposed. According to the relevant investigation procedures, the U.S. Trade Representative Office will make a proposal to the President before September 2. The latter will make a final decision on whether to take measures by September 17.
On June 29, the European Wheel Hub Manufacturers Association, representing six EU aluminum alloy wheel manufacturers, submitted a petition to the European Trade Commission to initiate an anti-dumping investigation against Chinese aluminum wheel products. The EU Trade Commission took note of the Chinese government on August 3. On August 13, the EU Trade Commission issued an announcement announcing its official anti-dumping investigation of aluminum alloy wheels exported from China. The investigation is expected to last for 15 months. If the investigation is established, the EU will impose a punitive tariff of 33% on Chinese aluminum alloy wheels exported to Europe, which may force Chinese companies to completely withdraw from the European market.
The reporter learned from relevant experts that the above two cases had different legal interpretations. Deng Yaxi, secretary general of the China Rubber Industry Association, said in an interview with this reporter that “special protection†is an abbreviation for “transitional guarantee mechanism for specific products†and “special safeguard measuresâ€. The "Protocol of the People's Republic of China on Accession to the WTO" stipulates that when Chinese exports are related to WTO member states, if the increase is so large that they cause "serious damage" or constitute a "serious damage threat" to the related industries of these members, Then these WTO members can take safeguard measures against Chinese products alone. "Anti-dumping" refers to the boycott measures taken against the dumping of foreign goods in the domestic market. She pointed out that "special protection and anti-dumping are two mechanisms. One is the special safeguard mechanism adopted by the importer when the exporter's product price is reasonable; the other is when the exporter's product price is lower than the normal price. Anti-dumping mechanism used."
In fact, this is not two isolated cases. With the continuous spread of the financial crisis, China’s spare parts exports suffered the most significant trade containment since the accession to the WTO this year: On March 16, 2009, two Russian companies planned to promote the government’s anti-dumping measures on fasteners in China; 4 On January 24, India imposed a temporary anti-dumping tax on imported auto parts. On June 18, Brazil imposed anti-dumping duties on imported radial tires from China. According to incomplete statistics, as of August 2009, there were as many as 12 anti-dumping incidents in China's auto parts exports in a matter of months. The case of the United States on China's tire protection and the European Union's anti-dumping investigation on Chinese aluminum alloy wheels are just a typical case of many trade protection frictions this year.
What are the reasons behind the frequent occurrence of spare parts trade protection cases behind the tire special security case and the anti-dumping case of aluminum alloy wheels?
A well-known researcher from the National Bureau of Statistics's International Statistical Information Center said in an interview with this reporter that this is a case in two cases, but it reflects a major feature of the current world economic situation: the protection of trade and investment protection are gradually escalating. Since the financial tsunami swept the world in 2008, trade frictions faced by China have gradually increased. According to data from the World Trade Organization Secretariat, in 2008, there were 73 new anti-dumping investigations against China and 10 anti-subsidy investigations, which accounted for 35% and 71% of the total global anti-dumping and countervailing investigations. In the first half of 2009 alone, China’s trade disputes amounted to approximately US$8.3 billion, far exceeding the US$6.2 billion in 2008.
The researcher also revealed a set of data to reporters: As of July 1, 2009, there were 121 cases of "two anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard measures, and special safeguard measures" that had taken effect in the United States. Among them, 77 cases were initiated against China, accounting for 64% of the total number of cases in which the United States implemented the “two anti-two protections†case; as of July 3, there were a total of 133 “two anti-two anti-guarantee†cases in force in the EU. The "two anti-two guarantees" case against China accounted for 1/3 of the total. According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, only from January to April this year, the number of investigations on "two counter-two guarantees" increased by 26.7% year-on-year, involving a year-on-year increase of 188% in export value.
In response, Zhao Ying, director of the Industrial Development Office of the Institute of Industrial Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also stated: "As the financial crisis gradually stabilizes, it is precisely at the critical time that countries in various countries seek for government protection of their own industries. Is a period of high trade friction."
With the rise of global trade protection, China's spare parts exports, which have been developing rapidly in recent years, have inevitably encountered protection barriers. According to statistics compiled by the China General Automobile Association, the General Administration of Customs shows that in 2007 China’s auto parts exports amounted to USD 15.594 billion, an increase of 35.38% year-on-year; in 2008 China’s auto parts exports amounted to USD 32.608 billion, of which only in 2008 The total export volume of parts and components for the six months was up to 15.374 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 20.31 times over the first year of China’s accession to the WTO. "With the rapid rise of China's economy, the export volume of auto parts has increased significantly for many consecutive years. In addition, the international financial crisis has not yet bottomed out and the impact on the real economy has become increasingly deeper. Some countries have tried to protect China's national industry and maintain employment. The banner of trade protectionism has created additional trade barriers for the export of Chinese enterprises," Xiong Chuanlin, deputy secretary-general of the China Automobile Industry Association, told reporters.
With increasing trade barriers, the export of Chinese companies has been restricted. The China Rubber Industry Association’s responding delegation to the United States pointed out at a hearing held by the US that “according to statistics, from January to March 2009, the export of Chinese tires to the United States fell by 15% compared with the same period of last year, from January to June. It has dropped by 9%, and it has risen in recent months mainly because US tire importers are concerned about retaliatory imports caused by the implementation of special insurance in September. Compared with 2007, the US’s annual import growth rate was only 2.2%. According to these statistics, the United States' imports from China have not only risen sharply, but have instead declined.
According to Li Xiaoqing, Secretary General of the Wheel Committee of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from July 2008 to June 2009, China's automobile aluminum alloy wheels were exported to 27 countries in the European Union with an export value of 390 million U.S. dollars; according to China Customs statistics, 2008 From May to May 2009, China's exports of aluminum alloy wheels to the EU accounted for less than 8% of the EU market. "This will not harm the EU aluminum wheel manufacturing industry. It is not necessary for the EU to launch an anti-dumping investigation against China. EU counterparts cannot trade protection under the banner of anti-dumping," said Li Xiaoqing.
CITIC DeKalb is a professional manufacturer of aluminum alloy wheels with a domestic market share of 50%, and is also the world's largest supplier of OE (original equipment) aluminum alloy automotive wheel hubs. “We always believe that China’s exports of aluminum alloy wheels have not caused harm to similar European companies. The EU’s anti-dumping investigations are part of the deeper mismanagement of European companies,†said Wang Boxiang, sales manager of CITIC Dika in an interview with this reporter. The financial tsunami has caused the losses to be transferred to the performance of Chinese companies. This is an act of abusing the WTO rules."
After the industries and companies have actively responded to the investigation of the tire special protection case and the anti-dumping case of the aluminum alloy wheel, people are more concerned about the impact on the trade parties once the sanction is approved.
Deng Yaxi, secretary-general of the China Rubber Industry Association, told reporters that there are more than 20 Chinese companies and more than 100,000 workers involved in the special American tire insurance case. According to relevant media reports, James Mayfield, president of US Tire dealer Del Nat, said that if the Obama administration accepts sanctions, the US tire industry will have thousands of Americans unemployed in marketing, and the manufacturing sector It will not result in new jobs.†According to his own research results, Thomas Plussa, professor of economics at Rutgers University, pointed out at the hearing of the special tire protection case for the United States that if the United States uses tire protection measures, 1 Two jobs will result in the loss of 25 jobs, and the United States will eventually lose 25,000 jobs.
If the European Union imposes a 33% punitive tariff on Chinese aluminum alloy wheels exported to Europe, according to the Ministry of Commerce estimates, there are approximately 60 Chinese manufacturers who will be affected by this incident. According to sources from the Ministry of Commerce, Chinese aluminum alloy wheel products have been widely used as automotive spare parts by Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi and other large multinational companies, and they are very popular. China's aluminum alloy hub products meet the needs of the EU market. EU anti-dumping against China's aluminum alloy wheels will have a serious negative impact on China-EU auto parts trade, and it is not conducive to the global industrial division of labor, layout, and supply chain management of EU auto multinationals. , It is easy to create a double loss situation.
In order to respond to the ensuing tire special protection case and aluminum wheel anti-dumping investigation, as a link to communicate the relationship between the government and export companies, the China Rubber Industry Association and the China Automotive Industry Association respectively held a press conference at the first time to indicate their position and call for it. The enterprises involved in the case are prepared to respond. “We have established the Department of International Trade Coordination, and at the same time established a sound anti-dumping and responding mechanism to assist enterprises in responding to the complaints,†Xiong Chuanlin, deputy secretary-general of the China Automobile Industry Association, said.
CITIC DeKalb Wang Boxiang told reporters: “We are actively cooperating with industry associations and government agencies and have done a lot of work in hiring lawyers, collecting dumping that has not been implemented, and no evidence of industrial damage. As an internationally renowned automotive aluminum alloy wheel professional supplier, Wanfeng Aowei also established the "EU anti-dumping investigation case response team" headed by the general manager of the company on August 13 and hired a professional lawyer organization to deal with the problem. Anti-dumping legal affairs. It is understood that after the August 5th China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products called an early warning meeting, more than 60 companies involved in aluminum wheel anti-dumping investigations are actively preparing for the appeal.
According to the Ministry of Commerce on August 19, in the case of the United States’ special case for Chinese tires protection, Vice Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan was in the US and the White House Security Committee, the Ministry of Finance, the Office of the Trade Representative, the Ministry of Commerce, and the State Council and other departments on August 18. The talks were held to express the Chinese government’s firm opposition to the position and concerns of the special safeguard measures. In addition, on August 17th, Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian stated at a regular press conference that the EU's filing of anti-dumping duties on aluminum wheels not only lacked a just basis but also was not conducive to the EU’s own economic recovery.
As the third largest trading entity in the world and the second largest exporter, with the continuous improvement of comprehensive national power, China will face more trade frictions in the future and involve a greater amount of money. Industry experts suggest that China should gradually improve the early warning mechanism for export anti-dumping and safeguard measures, carefully analyze the changes in the international market, make predictions and follow-ups, and shift the focus of response from ex post facto prosecution to ex ante prevention. In addition, China should establish a contingent of professionals and strengthen the study of the laws and procedures of anti-dumping and safeguard measures in major exporting countries.
