China calls US to halt probes on solar items

China urged the United States yesterday to stop anti-dumping and countervailing investigations on Chinese solar products.

“China will closely follow the case, assess the impact on the Chinese solar sector and resolutely safeguard our interests through various mechanism,” the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.

The US Commerce Department on Thursday opened anti-dumping and countervailing scrutiny over imports of certain solar products from China.

“Dialogue and consultation are effective means to settle trade disputes,” said the ministry.

China expects the US to conduct dialogue and consultation and properly settle the issue instead of taking trade remedy measures, it said.

The ministry said a similar probe into Chinese solar cells that opened in November 2011 did little to help improve the performance of the US solar industry and exerted negative impact in the downstream sector.
