EU provoked the biggest trade friction between China and Europe

On July 1st, it was learned from the EU website that for the investigation of the wireless wide area network modem, the European Union has also issued an anti-dumping investigation notice against China and an investigation report of safeguard measures for many countries. China became the only country to suffer double investigations.
The website of the European Commission showed that the products under investigation were wireless wide-area network modems, and the EU customs codes were 84718000 and 85176200. The prosecution was Belgium's Option company, which stated in its complaint that it was the only producer in the European Union involved in the product.
The person in charge of the Fair Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce said on the same day that the case was the first time that the European Union had initiated anti-dumping investigations and safeguards investigations on Chinese products at the same time. It involved more than 1,000 companies and the amount involved was about US$4.1 billion.
"This should be the largest anti-dumping case that the European Union has ever launched against China. The total amount of trade remedy surveys that China received from all countries in the past year was 12.6 billion U.S. dollars, which together exceeded 4 billion U.S. dollars. The amount is very large. Professor Tu Xinquan of the University of International Business and Economics told reporters that what is even more rare is that the EU has even launched safeguard measures against China at the same time. “In my opinion, we have not encountered such double investigation cases so far.” Tu Xinquan said: This means "one kind of damage, two kinds of compensation", which will result in repeated calculation of the loss, so as to achieve the effect of double punishment.
Tu Xinquan further stated that the safeguard measures were initiated in response to an excessive increase in the export volume of the other country, and often did not involve issues such as dumping and unfair competition. As safeguards require both parties to reach a compensation agreement, implementation is difficult and rarely used internationally. The European Union has launched safeguard measures against many countries, including China, and launched an anti-dumping investigation against China. This is not unrelated to the demonstration effect that the United States has initiated many "double counter" investigations.
Zhu Qiliang, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, pointed out that currently domestic companies such as Huawei and ZTE have become the major equipment suppliers for European and American telecom operators. In particular, after Huawei obtained contracts for the construction of 4G networks in countries such as Northern Europe, the technological leadership of domestic companies in the European and American markets was further consolidated. However, this has also squeezed the living space of European and American manufacturers, naturally attracting complacency from dissatisfaction.
"The so-called 'dumping' by the European and American governments is only an excuse, and it is more to protect the technological leadership of European and American companies." Qiu Jun, a research fellow at ZTE Research, revealed to reporters that domestic manufacturers have improved their technological level in recent years. , Greatly beyond the trend of European and American manufacturers. According to research firm Infonetics, in 2009, Huawei's global market share was 22.1%, surpassing Nokia-Siemens, which ranked second in the industry. ZTE surpassed Alcatel-Lucent with 12.6% of the global market share, ranking fourth in the industry. Faced with the momentum of Chinese companies in the development of European and American markets, Europe and the United States have been taboo, so it will initiate all kinds of "accusations."
Qiu said that with the 4G network being put on the agenda, the advantages of domestic enterprises in LTE technology are becoming more obvious, which will certainly attract the attention of European and American manufacturers.
According to the person in charge of the Fair Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, wireless wide area network modems are constantly updated high-tech products. Chinese products have promoted technological progress and created new markets, and have also brought benefits to consumers. The European Union's investigation of two types of relief measures at the same time is a typical trade protectionist approach. Abuse of trade remedy measures interferes with normal trade, which not only hinders the EU’s own economic recovery process but also undermines China’s interests and is not conducive to the development of science and technology.
According to industry analysts, the “two-case investigation” initiated by the EU in this case seems to be just a case. However, in combination with the “accusations” initiated by countries such as Europe, the United States, and India, I believe there is reason to believe that Behind it is the self-protection of European and American manufacturers out of their own interests, and their heightened vigilance against the growing technical strength of Chinese companies. In fact, not only telecommunications equipment, but in the course of continuous improvement of China’s industrial competitiveness, many products with innovative technologies and other aspects have undergone similar discriminatory protection measures. However, the EU initiated a dual case investigation. The means are more naked and the damage is more serious.
At the time of the announcement on the EU website, the website of the Fair Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce also released this news at 18:40 on June 30, Beijing time, to warn relevant companies of their attention. On July 1, the head of the Fair Trade Bureau also publicly responded that "China will follow closely the progress of the case in accordance with the WT O rules and reserves the right to take further measures."
On the same day of July 1, the Electrical and Mechanical Import & Export Chamber of Commerce issued an emergency notice with the word “Extraordinary Urgency” to call related companies to jointly hold a national emergency response meeting. “In view of the fact that the case was a simultaneous investigation of the dual cases of anti-dumping and safeguard measures, the enterprises involved in the case had exponentially increased their efforts in a limited period of time.” “This meeting is very important. All responsible persons of the involved companies must send personnel to participate.” .
The Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products was informed that the Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electrical Equipment had issued a warning notice to the relevant companies on June 21st. According to the anti-dumping case filing announcement in this case, the company involved should contact the investigation authority within 15 days after filing the case, obtain the survey questionnaire, and submit the questionnaire to the investigation authority 37 days after filing the case. According to the case announcement of the safeguard measures in this case, the company involved should contact the investigating agency within 10 days after filing the case, obtain the survey questionnaire, and submit the questionnaire to the investigation authority 21 days after filing the case.
"If a company involved cannot submit a corresponding questionnaire within the specified time, it will be considered by the investigation authority as uncooperative. As a result, the highest anti-dumping tax rate will be obtained and the export of the enterprise will be fatally hit." The Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronics prompts that "In an emergency Next, the investigation authority may adopt temporary safeguard measures to directly increase the tariffs on the products involved in the case, which will cause the products involved in the case to be difficult to enter the EU market in a short period of time."
Li Huiyi, an associate researcher of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with reporters that the government’s lead, association organization, and corporate alliance to respond quickly and positively are the best solutions. Enterprises must actively cooperate with the work of the government and the association, take the initiative to provide materials, and jointly respond actively.
