China is one of the major victims of anti-dumping in the world and it will use relevant WTO rules to protect its own interests, Shi Guangsheng, China's foreign trade minister, said here Tuesday.
China has been the target in 485 anti-dumping cases, the minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation said at a press conference held by the ongoing session of the National People's Congress.
China firmly opposes the abuse of anti-dumping for trade protectionism purposes, and anti-dumping should be carried out in strict accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Shi said.
China will deal with the anti-dumping issue in accordance with the WTO rules, the minister said, adding that two special agencies have been established to investigate and determine dumping of foreign products in China.
