China Initiates Anti-Dumping Probe on US, EU, Japan, and Taiwan Plastics

The investigation targets POM copolymers amid escalating trade tensions with major economic partners.

China's Ministry of Commerce launched the probe following applications from six domestic companies.
The investigation will examine imports from January 2023 to December 2023 and any industry damage since January 2021.
The probe is expected to conclude by May 2025, with a possible six-month extension.
The move follows recent US and EU tariffs on Chinese goods, including electric vehicles and solar panels.
China's action is seen as a response to heightened trade measures from the US and EU.
