October 15, the U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk (Ron Kirk) issued a statement that the United Steelworkers will be the application, start the Chinese government for its own clean energy industry is not fair to support the “301 investigation.” The survey covers China’s wind energy, solar energy, advanced batteries and energy-saving automotive industry.
The relevant officials of the National Energy Board on the 18th to this reporter said that at present the relevant departments and industry associations are actively organize relevant materials, the collation of data in response to the United States related to investigation.
Tight rounds of the exchange rate with the war and trade war, in the mid-term elections from the United States less than a month left in the node, the United States You Xiang of China’s new energy industry launched a new round of “energy war.”
National Development and Reform Commission deputy director of the National Energy Secretary Zhang said the U.S. investigation will be the new energy industry for their own benefits more exposed to the world. “Start the survey, the only real damage to the United States, the United States will not win this trade war.”
The Chinese government actively respond to
And had several cases against China the same trade friction, the Chinese government for its own clean energy industry to support the investigation unfair application is still made by the United Steelworkers of America’s. As one of North America’s largest union, United Steelworkers mining, cement, machinery and other industries in one, has a strong political force.
September 9, the association will be a thick book of complaints 5800 delivery to the United States Trade Representative, asked initiated 301 investigations. The reason: China’s clean energy sector to support their subsidies taken non-market subsidies, these measures would be contrary to World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations, artificially reducing the price of clean energy products in China, which on U.S. industry an impact and cause unemployment.
301 is the United States, “Trade Act of 1974” referred to in section 301, to protect U.S. interests in international trade. Under this provision, the United States can it considered “unfair” trade practices of other countries to investigate, and in consultation with the Governments concerned, to take the final decision by the President to raise tariffs, import restrictions, and other retaliatory measures to stop the agreement .
Select the date of submission of the complaint, it is a profound meaning. According to 301, Barack Obama must be within 45 days to rule on the petition and decide whether the policy against China, initiating countervailing duty investigations. This means that Obama must be only in the mid-term elections from the United States more than a week to respond to this point in time.
In this regard, Zhang’s response to sharply: “From time to process the entire process of point of view, I was very surprised. I wonder what the U.S. want in the end? They want a fair trade? Or want a genuine dialogue? Or want transparent information? I think these are not, the U.S. seems more willing to get votes. ”
The Chinese Government’s response and defense work, to appeal from the United States began the day. According to Zhang introduced in September, Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Chao led a delegation to the United States that consultation, and the United States proposed that the energy sector with China dialogue on this video.
Dialogue with the United States has repeatedly delayed due time, until the United States announced the launch of investigations, the energy sector in China also failed to make any direct communication.
Bureau of Energy, the relevant officials of the foregoing to this reporter said that under U.S. trade laws, the Government may require a consultant to the Chinese government to discuss the complaints. Currently, the Energy Bureau is organizing a related industry organizations and experts to further organize relevant materials in response to the U.S. investigation. “The 301 is only for the United States, but also did not enter the WTO’s appeals process, so the Chinese are different ways to respond.” The official said.
Who subsidies?
According to United Steelworkers of complaints, the Chinese manufacturers of clean energy by massive government subsidies, mainly in the low land prices, bank lending rates low side. Also due to the policy support of all provinces, clean energy project launched more and more, thus greatly reducing manufacturing costs.
Although the final decision on the U.S. side of clean energy for China’s government subsidies initiated 301 investigations, but their new energy for the U.S. market, the U.S. government is not without subsidies.
According to Zhang introduced Obama to the new U.S. 600 billion dollars of energy subsidies, the implementation of this year, the U.S. adopted a series of support measures, including cash payment of U.S. finance new energy enterprises. Among them, the 2010 January to September, the U.S. government has passed the way of cash payments to the new U.S. energy companies subsidies provided $ 4,600,000,000. Start before the end of 2010 the provisions of the new U.S. energy companies, the U.S. government can get up to 30% of the advanced capital subsidies. In this $ 4,600,000,000 in subsidies to make up to $ 3,000,000,000 of U.S. wind power company.
According to the United States in 2009 released “recovery Reinvestment Act,” for the government’s renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart grid subsidies, including subsidies to renewable energy is 25.2 billion U.S. dollars. U.S. energy efficiency and renewable energy sector on August 16 this year, valid for 6 months to make temporary provision requiring funded solar energy project, you must use the U.S. produced chips.
In this regard, the National Energy Research Institute researcher Wang Sicheng said that as renewable energy is environmentally sustainable development of the emerging industry, so most of the country will introduce some appropriate support measures. “The Chinese government adopted the way incentives are recognized, and U.S. subsidies is different, and more are in research and development subsidies.”
China, the U.S. market is not a major market for clean energy exports, so the “301 investigation” for the limited impact on domestic industry. According to Zhang that the Chinese exports to the U.S. only has three fans, and the U.S. General Electric Company in 2005 exports to China up to 80,000 kilowatts of fans, 2009, the U.S. General Electric Company fan of China’s exports to 34 million kilowatts, an increase four times, five years of its total exports of 1.13 million kilowatts.
Zhang said that in 2009, China’s wind power market, about 850 billion, of which 21% of the purchases in foreign countries, this figure illustrates, the development of wind power to create a large number of foreign export opportunities in China.
NDRC Energy Research Institute, Li Junfeng, deputy director interviewed in the previous time, the United States launched the “301 investigation” Although there may be to initiate an investigation, but after the filing to go through one to two years of investigation.
‘In this process, the mid-term election will be the end of the main driving force to promote the motion would not exist.’ Li Junfeng said.
