This paper explores the issue of competition in the execution of antidumping procedures from a legal and socio-economic perspective, applied to China as the world’s number one antidumping target. After the restructuring of Chinese central government in 2003, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) became responsible for all antidumping investigations. It is not certain how China will implement the “public interest” clause in its own antidumping regulations in order to reach a fairer result in antidumping investigations.1 digital fileenREGULATIONSTRADE AGREEMENTSCOMPETITION LAWCHINAFREE TRADEECONOMIC REFORMECONOMIC LIBERALIZATIONPOLICY MAKINGLEGAL FRAMEWORKINTERNATIONAL TRADE LAWWTOCENTRALIZED GOVERNMENTFAR EAST ASIAGATTEXPORT ORIENTED INDUSTRIESTRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONSWorking Paper
