The reporter interviewed Yang Yi, director of the Bureau of Industrial Injury Investigation of the Ministry of Commerce on December 18, and learned that since the financial crisis, China's oil and chemical industries have frequently experienced trade frictions. From June 2008 to November 2009, foreign countries launched a joint venture with China on petrochemical products. Anti-dumping investigation of 17 cases. Yang Yi suggested that the petrochemical industry should increase the use of remedial measures and vigorously counter foreign trade protectionism. At the same time, it is necessary to closely track the development trend of the industry and establish trade damage and consultation mechanisms to safeguard industrial safety.
According to reports, since the financial crisis, WTO members have frequently used trade remedy measures to protect their own industries, and China's oil and chemical industry is still the hardest hit by trade remedy investigations. The petrochemical products of the same kind are often issued in many countries. Anti-dumping investigations have often become one of the means by which multinational corporations crack down on China’s exports.
At the same time, some large companies in Japan, South Korea, and Europe and the United States have tried to enter the Chinese market through dumping. Therefore, the petrochemical industry is also the industry that has initiated the most anti-dumping investigations in China. Since the financial crisis, from June 2008 to November 2009, China initiated a total of 29 anti-dumping investigations, including 22 for petrochemical products.
However, compared with developed countries, there is still a gap in the ability of China's petrochemical companies to use trade remedy and investigation methods. In China's anti-dumping investigation against petrochemical products, most of the complaints were state-owned large and medium-sized enterprises, while the number of cases in which small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises responded to anti-dumping investigations was few. In the 42 anti-dumping investigations filed against petrochemical products in China from 1997 to November this year, the number of complaints among enterprises including PetroChina, Sinopec and its subsidiaries was 14; the Bluestar Group had 6 cases.
Yang Yi believes that in order to reduce trade frictions and the resulting damage and maintain industrial safety, the petrochemical industry needs to do the following.
The first is to increase the use of trade remedy measures to safeguard the industrial safety of the petroleum and chemical industries, and to effectively counteract the abuse of trade protection remedies abroad. The second is to establish a trade damage and consultation mechanism for key sensitive commodities in the oil and chemical industry, give full play to the functions of the industrial safety database in the petroleum and chemical industries, early detection of oil and chemical product trade anomalies, and formulate feasible early warning, pre-control, and consultation programs. Actively resolve possible trade frictions. The third is to track and evaluate the development status and trends of the industries involved in the petroleum and chemical industries and their upstream and downstream industries, adjust and improve relevant supporting policies and measures, and promote the healthy development of the entire industry. Fourth, we must give full play to the role of industry spokesman for various types of petroleum and chemical industry organizations at various levels, strengthen non-governmental dialogues and consultations, and actively resolve trade frictions.
