US Sets Final Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese Solar Panels
美國對中國太陽能面板,設反傾銷關稅
To combat the dumping of Chinese solar panels, the US has set heavy duties on billions of dollars worth of solar panel imports from the Mainland.
為打擊中國傾銷太陽能面板,美國對大陸數十億元面板進口,苛徵重關稅。
China’s solar industry is heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, creating an oversupply of panels, and dumping at much lower rates.
