In the recent international arena, China has imposed a five-year anti-dumping duty on o-chloro-p-nitroaniline, a key chemical raw material in India, which is a powerful response to India's dumping behavior for five consecutive years. Although India has continuously launched anti-dumping investigations on Chinese products in the name of remedial measures, China's action is based on strong applications from domestic industries and strict adherence to legal procedures, not simple retaliation.
In terms of attracting foreign investment, India is holding high the banner of attracting investment on the surface, but in fact, it frequently uses political intervention behind the scenes, undermines the normal order of the international community, and greatly reduces its own image, which is nicknamed the "cemetery of foreign investment". In recent years, due to the Sino-Indian border conflict and complex geopolitical changes, India's suppression of Chinese companies has become more and more serious, such as Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO and other Chinese brands have frequently become targets, showing India's extreme instability and inadmissibility in China policy.
Since the Sino-Indian border conflict in 2020, the number of anti-dumping investigations against China by India has surged, and behind it is not only the paranoia of protection, but also part of the political calculation. India's series of actions have seriously affected the business environment of Chinese enterprises in India and inhibited the normal development of China and India, but China's response is based on the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of domestic industries, rather than the unprovoked war.
In the face of India's vexatious provocation, China has taken countermeasures and imposed anti-dumping duties on India's exports of o-chloro-p-nitroaniline, aiming to protect the domestic industry from unfairness. This decision was made on the basis of full investigation and legal procedures, and reflects China's firm position and rational behavior in the international community.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, from 1995 to 2023, India has launched as many as 336 anti-dumping cases against China, showing India's extreme and aggressive policy towards China. In contrast, China's anti-dumping investigations against India have been few, and this asymmetrical behavior reveals India's short-sighted and ineffective strategy of trying to resolve its deficit with China through the most effective means.
Despite India's unreasonable challenges, China has demonstrated respect for international rules and support for global economic integration while safeguarding its own economic interests. China's decision to impose anti-dumping duties is not only a protection of the legitimate rights and interests of domestic industries, but also an adherence to international fairness, demonstrating China's responsibility as the world's second largest economy.
India's long-standing policy toward China has been full of contradictions and contradictions. On the one hand, India is shouting to boycott "Made in China", on the other hand, the scale of China and India is constantly expanding, and India is deeply dependent on Chinese products. In this case, India's anti-dumping investigation and barriers not only do not help solve the problem of imbalance between the two sides, but also damage its own economic interests.
In the context of global economic integration, friction and disputes are inevitable. However, solving the problem through a legitimate and reasonable international mechanism is the right way to maintain the global order. In this process, China has shown great restraint and wisdom, protected its own interests through legal means, and also contributed to the healthy development of the international community.
In short, the friction between China and India should not be politicized, let alone become an obstacle to the development of bilateral relations. The real solution lies in the two sides finding a win-win way out through dialogue and consultation. As far as China is concerned, in the face of India's unfair behavior, it will continue to adhere to the principles of rationality, calmness and legality, and take practical actions to safeguard international fairness and justice.
