Australia's recent decision to terminate the anti-dumping measures on Chinese stainless steel sinks will help deepen the economic and trade cooperation between the two sides, leading to win-win outcomes, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said on Thursday.
MOC spokesman He Yadong said China has noticed that the report released by the Anti-Dumping Commission of Australia on reviewing anti-dumping and countervailing duty measures on Chinese stainless steel sinks on Oct 17.
According to the report, the relevant Australian authorities concluded that discontinuing the anti-dumping measures on Chinese stainless steel sinks would not cause ongoing harm to the domestic industry in Australia, and recommended that these measures be terminated upon their expiration on March 26, 2025.
Noting that China and Australia are important trading partners for each other, He emphasized that through joint efforts, the two sides have reached a consensus within the WTO framework to properly resolve trade disputes, and promote the steady and healthy development of bilateral economic and trade relations.
"China has been actively advocating to properly address economic and trade frictions through dialogue and consultation. We are willing to work with our trade partners including Australia in the same direction, accommodate each other's legitimate concerns, and jointly promote a fair and stable international trade environment," said He.
