美国对华铜版纸反补贴案实证分析-法律学专业毕业论文.docx

PAGE PAGE IV Abstract On November 20, 2006, The Department of Commerce of the US(DOC) announced to conduct its countervailing investigation upon imported Chinese coated free sheet paper(CFS).

This case also sets up an example for other countries who has not acknowledged China’s market economy status. This may create dual discrimination against Chinese products all around the world. Thus it is of great practice value and practical significance to study this case thoroughly and to propose some effective suggestions. Because no country had taken countervailing measures to Chinese products before Canada did in 2004, there is little study conducted on this matter. Because this is also the first time CVD measures and “surrogate country” methods were adopted in the same case, the research material is especially scarce.
