Q: It is reported that Mexico has recently launched anti-dumping investigations against China's float glass, self-adhesive tape, polyvinyl chloride coated plastic cloth and steel bolts. What is the Ministry of Commerce's response to this?

A: We note that the Mexican Ministry of Economy on the application of domestic enterprises, in recent days in a row on China float glass, polyethylene coated cloth and other products launched 4 anti-dumping investigations. China firmly opposes protectionist acts that harm China's legitimate rights and interests, will closely watch Mexico's investigation progress, urge Mexico in the investigation to strictly observe the rules of the WTO, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

Since this year, Mexico's anti-dumping investigations on Chinese products have reached 11, almost twice the total number of cases filed last year, while China has been cautious to restrain the launch of trade relief investigations. China believes that in the context of the current US abuse of tariffs, countries should jointly oppose unilateralism, should not allow protectionism to spread, and should not restrict China under others' coercion.

According to the Foreign Trade Law and the Foreign Trade Barrier Investigation Rules, the Ministry of Commerce has launched a trade and investment barrier investigation into Mexico's intention to raise import tariffs and other trade and investment restrictions against China.The Chinese side will take all necessary measures, including in the fields of trade and investment, based on the results of the investigation and the actual situation, and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.
