With the deepening of economy global integration, trade liberalization and saturation of international market, the worldwide dumping and anti-dumping becomes more intense than ever before. With the development of Chinese economy, more and more enterprises entered the international market and started participating in international competition. Because of advantages stemming from China's natural resources and labor force, the market share of numerous Chinese products in the international arena becomes bigger and bigger. Such rapid development also makes anti-dumping litigations against China increase. Based on the analysis of the present situation, causes, and effect of American anti-dumping against China, combined with the studies of American anti-dumping legislation, this paper presents some countermeasures against American anti-dumping for Chinese government and enterprises, expecting that could promote the development of China's import and export trade.In chapter 1, the author briefly discusses the connotation of dumping and anti-dumping and their roles in economic development, and analyses the present situation, causes, and effect of American anti-dumping against China.In chapter 2, comprehensive study of the entity rules of American anti-dumping legislation was made, which included four aspects, i. e., determination of dumping, determination of injury, causal relationship between dumping and injury and anti-circumvention measures.

The US Department of Commerce uses the price of each production factors of the subrogate countries to calculate the putative normal price. Anti-circumvention measures are extension and expansion of anti-dumping legislation and its existence is rational and necessary, so it was discussed in this chapter.In chapter 3, procedural rules of American anti-dumping legislation were discussed, which included two aspects, i.e., the anti-dumping authorities and anti-dumping investigation.
