The Department of Commerce of the United States concluded its anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation over Chinese solar products and decided to implement anti-subsidy sanctions on Chinese solar products on June 3, a move to add to the woes of Jiangsu’s fragile photovoltaic industry.
“The United States launched a second round of surveys targeting China’s photovoltaic exports,” said sources from the Department of Commerce of Jiangsu Province.
Two years ago, the US launched its first “double-anti” investigation over products of photovoltaic cells made in Chinese mainland. But this new round of investigation also targeted products made in Taiwan which reflects the US’s intention to fully restrict China’s photovoltaic products exported to the US.
Photovoltaic enterprises in Jiangsu condemned the US for sparking a new round of trade frictions, and called for negotiations to resolve trade disputes. People from the Department of Commerce of Jiangsu Province reminded enterprises that while actively coping with trade frictions, enterprises shall also think from the perspective of the whole industry and consider the different market positioning of China and the US products, thus cooling off the heated trade frictions.
