US squeezes Chinese PV products cheaper and sells

China's photovoltaic (PV) products have faced significant challenges in the U.S. market. Despite providing high-quality products and creating thousands of jobs for local communities, Chinese companies have also generated substantial business opportunities for upstream and downstream industries. However, they have been targeted by domestic competitors and repeatedly subjected to "double anti-dumping" investigations, which have pushed them out of the U.S. market. Recently, leading domestic PV firms gathered at the "Global Photovoltaic Leaders Dialogue" to voice their concerns over the growing trade barriers. **[American Public Benefits from Chinese PV Products]** Chinese PV products are seen as essential by American counterparts due to their advanced technology, superior quality, and competitive pricing. At the recent "Global Photovoltaic Leaders Dialogue," Li Junfeng, Director of the National Center for Climate Change Strategy Research and International Cooperation, referenced a speech by former U.S. President Barack Obama, who noted that solar costs had dropped by 60% over five years, and U.S. investment in solar equipment had increased fivefold. Every four minutes, a U.S. household installed solar panels. Li emphasized that this progress was not solely due to individual efforts or one country’s actions, but rather the result of global collaboration in the PV industry. He called for the elimination of trade barriers to further reduce costs and promote sustainable development. In reality, many U.S. solar manufacturers, which rely on the global supply chain, have also suffered from these trade restrictions. For example, U.S. companies using solar cells depend heavily on components from China, and many oppose the "double anti-dumping" investigations. American think tanks and industry groups have warned that imposing these tariffs would harm downstream businesses and potentially lead to over 60,000 job losses by 2014. According to officials from China’s Ministry of Commerce, the U.S. International Trade Commission has failed to properly consider the interdependence between the two countries' PV industries. Chinese PV products have not harmed the U.S. industry; instead, they have brought significant benefits and employment opportunities to the entire U.S. supply chain. After the U.S. imposed restrictions on Chinese PV products, the intended outcomes were not achieved. A survey by U.S. research firm HIS showed a sharp decline in U.S. PV manufacturing capacity. The Solar Foundation also reported that employment in the solar sector did not improve, and panel prices remained stable. **[Abuse of Trade Rules]** The U.S. has aggressively pursued measures to exclude Chinese PV products. In November 2011, despite China’s opposition, the U.S. launched a "double anti-dumping" investigation into Chinese PV cells. In December 2012, it imposed "double anti-dumping" tariffs on imported Chinese PV cells. In 2014, the U.S. expanded its investigation to include Taiwan and broadened the scope to cover crystalline silicon PV products such as cells, modules, laminates, panels, and building-integrated materials. Reports indicate that the U.S. decision was unfair, as it used an unreasonable third country as a surrogate for determining dumping margins. Experts suggest that the U.S. is trying to limit Chinese PV products’ access to the U.S. market. With Chinese new energy products capturing a large share of the U.S. market, this conflicts with the U.S. goal of reviving its manufacturing sector. A spokesperson from China’s Ministry of Commerce stated that the industry will continue legal defense efforts on issues like injury, dumping, and subsidies to protect Chinese interests. It is expected that the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products may issue a joint statement against the latest "double anti-dumping" investigation. **[Chain Effects Harm the Global Market]** The misuse of trade protectionism by the U.S. could trigger a ripple effect across the world. Zheng Guibiao, Vice President of Sunshine Power, expressed concern that future trade protectionism might extend beyond PV modules to other components like inverters. Similar "anti-dumping" campaigns could emerge in markets like Australia and the UK, where domestic PV companies are strong. Industry insiders warn that if the U.S. continues with unreasonable trade barriers, it could negatively impact global economic recovery. Countries should resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation, rather than resorting to punitive measures. China’s Ministry of Commerce has consistently emphasized that the Sino-U.S. PV industry is highly integrated, with great potential for cooperation. Both sides should focus on clean energy development and work together to ensure stable growth, rather than frequently using trade remedies to restrict competition. Dialogue and consultation remain effective ways to resolve trade tensions and achieve mutual benefits. This has always been China’s position. Experts agree that the global economy is still recovering, and countries must cooperate. Using trade protectionism to harm others contradicts the spirit of free trade and hinders healthy competition. Cooperative approaches, however, can lead to greater success and shared prosperity.
