【Author】Wei, Dan
【Abstract】Traditional users and new users of antidumping are pursuing different paths. Nowadays, the trend of active use of antidumping tools has shifted from the developed countries towards the developing countries. The antidumping measures imposed by emerging economies tend to be more frequent and severe than those imposed by developed countries and South-South protectionism also emerges. Even though emerging countries like Brazil and China remain the targets of antidumping protection provided in the WTO framework, they have already acquired the capacity to use such measures and intensified their strategic employment and successfully lodged cases before the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO. The article attempts to examine and compare critically the Brazil's and China's use of antidumping and elucidate that emerging countries must find a way to harmonize mutually beneficial trading relationships with many other countries, if they intend to improve their leading positions in reshaping the world trading order in a way compatible with their emerging power and influence today.
