Chinese Rules for Trade Barriers Investigation: A Comparative Analysis Volume 6, No. 3 Cheng Weidong Cheng Weidong is Fellow of Institute of European Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Visiting Fellow, Lauterpacht Research Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge. Trade barrier investigation is an important mechanism to counteract unfair foreign trade measures. The Provisional Rules on Investigating Barriers to Foreign Trade have established substantive and procedural rules for trade barrier investigation in China. However, these rules lack a legislative basis and are, in any case, deficient in many respects. This article analyses these shortcomings, considers comparative systems and suggests ways to improve the existing mechanism. |
