At the April 30/May 1 2024 meeting of the WTO's Council for Trade in Goods, for which the minutes were recently circulated, a number of issues related to trade with China were raised.

This past week, CTM covered the following issues: Trade remedy cases: * China's countervailing duty investigation on EU dairy products * China’s expiry review of anti-dumping measures on rubber products * U.S. countervailing duty investigation on Chinese glass wine bottles * EU anti-dumping investigation on Chinese biodiesel * EU

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced final countervailing duty rates for glass wine bottles from China, and its reasoning in the case discusses the role of the CCP in Chinese companies.

Last week, the European Commission issued Implementing Regulation 2024/2163, imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of biodiesel originating in China.

The European Commission announced today that it had made some adjustments to the provisional countervailing duties it previously set on imports of Chinese EVs, as part of the draft definitive findings given to the parties for review.

Last week, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo calling for an investigation of Chinese router maker TP-Link.

Chinese semiconductor equipment maker Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment (AMEC) has become the second Chinese company to challenge a U.S. Defense Department decision to designate it as a "Chinese military company."
