中國將對美韓太陽能材料展開傾銷調查大綱

China says it will open probes into imported U.S. and South Korean solar-grade polysilicon, which is used to make solar products.

The Ministry of Commerce announced Friday that it will investigate whether U.S. and South Korea sold the kind of polysilicon used to produce solar batteries at artificially low prices in China.

In another statement, the ministry said it will look into U.S. state subsidies for the sector, including tax exemptions, free land, and use of public funds for job training.

The announcements come after Washington slapped import duties on solar equipment
from China in May, because of what U.S. officials called dumping. Beijing called the action protectionist.

中國表示，將對進口的美國和韓國太陽能級多晶硅展開調查。太陽能級多晶硅是用來製造太陽能產品的材料。

中國商務部星期五宣佈，將調查美國和韓國是否以非正常的低價格在中國市場銷售太陽能級多晶硅。

中國商務部在另一項聲明中說，將調查美國政府對有關產品提供的補貼，包括免稅、免費使用土地以及用政府資金支付培訓費。

今年5月，美國向從中國進口的太陽能設備增收關稅，理由是中國有傾銷行爲。北京認爲美國的做法屬於保護主義。
