The Voice of China "CNR News" reported that the Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang, the Ministry of Commerce held today a regular press conference that the United States to China to take the "tire special protection case", in fact, is to shift the domestic political pressure to take measures of trade protectionism. Necessary to urge the U.S. to terminate the tires as soon as possible "safeguard" measures to ensure fair competition environment for Chinese enterprises.

    Said Shen Danyang, China, the United States to take a "safeguard", in fact, is to shift the domestic political pressure to take measures of trade protectionism, this approach has led to trade-distorting consequences, the consequences of dog in the manger. It not only damage China's legitimate trade interests, but also did not get the support of the U.S. domestic industry, and the data shows that this approach has not reduced after the implementation of the U.S. tire imports.

    "Data show that in 2010 U.S. imports of tires from the world's number increased by 20.2% over 2009, imports continued to rise during the first half of this year, compared with an increase of 9 percent over the same period last year, while at the same time, the United States the number of tires imported from China, 2010 than in 2009, down 23.6%, imports continued to decline during the first half of this year by 6%, which shows that the number of U.S. imports of tires has not decreased, but reducing imports from China so the Chinese side deems it necessary to urge the United States as soon as possible terminate "safeguard" measures to ensure fair competition environment of Chinese enterprises. "Shen Danyang said.

    Said Shen Danyang, the Doha Round negotiations, if successful, the vast majority of countries worldwide will benefit from the Doha Round if it fails, it will lead to global disruption of trade and investment liberalization on the global cause adverse effects. Therefore, China's accession to the WTO and the Doha Round of negotiations, are positive and real contribution.

    He said that in negotiations, China has promised not to use agricultural export subsidies, and in the country to maintain de minimis level of domestic subsidies, also committed to the least developed countries duty-free tariff lines to 95%, which is some of the most developed countries do not to. China's per capita income is currently less than U.S. 1 / 10, while some developed countries and the United States asked China to take the responsibility of close or similar, which obviously does not make sense. As a developing country, China has always been an active participant in the Doha Round negotiations and supporters, and has played an important role.
