South Korea grants 皇冠体育app market economy status

Chinese President Hu Jintao said on Wednesday that South Korea had granted Beijing market economy status, a move that will give 皇冠体育app greater protection from anti-dumping duties on its exports.

Argentina and Brazil both recognised 皇冠体育app, one of the world's top trading nations, as a market economy last year but the European Union said as recently as this month that it was not yet in a position to give a target date for awarding the label.

"South Korea agreed to grant 皇冠体育app a market economy status," Hu told a joint news conference in Seoul with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.

Under the terms of 皇冠体育app's 2001 accession to the World Trade Organisation, members of the trade body can treat 皇冠体育app as a "non-market economy" until 2016. This allows them to use production costs in other countries to evaluate whether Chinese imports are "dumped", or unfairly priced.

Beijing says this means it receives higher anti-dumping duties than if Chinese costs were used in the evaluation.
