China expects fair solution to color TV anti-dumping case

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-05 17:35:29

Chinanews, Apr. 4 - China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) proclaimed on
the 3rd that China expects the European Union (EU) to fairly and
reasonably handle the anti-dumping case against China's color TVs in
accordance with WTO anti-dumping rules. This is MOFCOM's first response
to the EU's resumption of imposing a 44.6% anti-dumping tax on China-made
color TVs on March 31.
In 1998, the EU levied a 44.6% anti-dumping tax on all China-made color
TVs exported to Europe and in 2002, the European Commission signed price
commitment agreements with seven Chinese enterprises including Haier and
Hisense. According to the agreements, so long as their prices were not
lower than the minimum level, color TV exports to Europe within the quota
by these seven producers could be exempted from the anti-dumping tax.
However, soon after the price commitment agreements were signed, the
seven enterprises' color TV exports to Europe were far from reaching the
total annual quota granted by the EU owing to the impacts of such factors
as lower costs of color TVs, changes in the global markets and Euro
appreciation.
As a result, the seven firms that signed the price commitment agreements
requested to cancel the price commitment. Based on the EU's anti-dumping
statute, the EU would resume imposing a 44.6% anti-dumping tax on the
seven firms like other enterprises after they have drawn back the price
commitment. Should the EU industry not request to review this case, the
above measure would expire on August 29, 2007.
Council of the European Union and the European Commission respectively
announced on Mar. 31 that they would cancel the price commitment with the
seven Chinese color TV producers and simultaneously resume imposing
anti-dumping tax.
China Business Times reported that before the announcement was published,
an MOFCOM official had stated that the EU never granted China the market
economy status and insisted China-made color TVs was involved in dumping
as it ignored the fact and practiced trade protectionism.

Rare "turbid water cave"

www.chinanews.cn 2006-04-03 17:41:13

There is a small natural cave near a brook at the entrance of a road in
Hunshui Village, Maoshi Township, Tongzi County, Guizhou Province. For
thousands of years, a great deal of turbid water flows from the cave and
blends into the clear river water, producing a scene of division between
the yellowish turbid water and the greenish clean river. Local villagers
reveal that this village is named Hunshui (turbid water) Village because
of this cave, from which turbid water flows since ancient times. As to
the cause of this phenomenon, local villagers have no idea, and it
remains a mystery up to now.

Great wall suffers heavy damage in Ningxia

www.chinanews.cn 2006-03-06 17:39:26

Chinanews, March. 6 �C Some archeological experts in Ningxia recently
said that the Great Wall was seriously damaged in Ningxia province.
In 2005, the experts carried a research to the Great Wall section in
Ningxia. According to experts, the Great wall extends 1,507 kilometers in
the province with all together 706 towers. The research showed that apart
from natural forces such as wind, rain, floods and sand wind that bring
damage to the Great Wall, the wall was seriously destroyed by human
activities.
In some places, the Great Wall was torn down as barriers that get in the
way of the local economic construction. In recent years, more and more
construction projects were kicked off along the Great Wall. Some projects
went on at the expense of the Great Wall.
In 2004, a ten-meter section of the Great Wall broke down in the west
side of Hongshanbao area, when a road was constructed between the Inner
Mongolia's Eduokeqian prefecture to Yinchuan. In Sanguankou area, local
herdsmen took away bricks of the Great Wall and in some parts, the Great
Wall were cleared away for building a mountain pass. In Hedong area, some
parts of the Great Wall were torn down for building roads while other
parts changed their original outlook. Some local people even used the
Great Wall material for making bricks.
Ningxia province is historically regarded as an important strategic pass
in west China. The Great Wall was built and rebuilt here during the
Warring States period, Qin, Han, Sui and Ming Dynasties. The Great Wall
extends hundreds of miles in Ningxia province in the north, central and
southern part of the province.
