Previously, the United States adopted global safeguard measures for imported Photovoltaic products, with a maximum tariff of 30%. The measures taken by the US, both procedurally and physically, are suspected of violating the WTO Agreement on Safeguards. This act of abuse of safeguards not only damages the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese side, but also affects the seriousness and authority of the WTO rules.

While adopting safeguard measures against imported PV products, the US side provides additional subsidies to renewable energy products such as photovoltaics manufactured in the country, which are suspected of forming import substitution subsidies and violating national treatment obligations. The US subsidy policy has given the country's renewable energy industry an unfair competitive advantage and damaged the legitimate rights and interests of China's renewable energy companies.

The above-mentioned violations by the US have seriously distorted the international market for products such as photovoltaics and seriously damaged China's trade interests. The Chinese side’s resort to the US dispute resolution mechanism is a necessary measure to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests and maintain multilateral trade rules.

We urge the US to take concrete actions, respect the rules of the WTO, and abandon the wrong practices so that the relevant trade can return to normal track.
