商务部：中国仍是贸易保护主义最大受害国_新闻资讯

　　中新网1月16日电 商务部发言人沈丹阳今日表示，2013年，中国贸易摩擦的形势并没有趋缓，从现有数据来看，中国将连续18年成为遭遇反倾销调查最多的国家，以及连续8年遭遇反补贴调查最多的国家，中国仍然是贸易保护主义的最大受害国。

　　商务部16日举行例行发布会，介绍商务运行情况。商务部新闻发言人沈丹阳在答记者问时表示，国际金融危机发生以来，一些国家经济复苏步伐缓慢，自由贸易理念弱化，贸易保护主义明显升温。与此同时，由于中国外贸出口市场布局还不够均衡，出口产品比发达国家和发展中国家产品的竞争都不同程度的加剧，容易引发贸易摩擦。

　　沈丹阳介绍说，前年共有19个国家地区对中国发起了贸易救济调查，总共有92起，比2012年增长了17.9%，从发起的案件数来讲，增长还很快。92起中，反倾销调查有71起，反补贴调查有14起，保障措施有7起。除此之外，美国还对中国发起了“337”调查19起，比2012年增加了1起。除了发达经济体立案增幅继续大幅度上升以外，新兴工业国家和发展中国家立案也呈增长趋势。

　　沈丹阳指出，贸易摩擦是我国成为世界第二大经济体和第一大出口国的伴生现象，有一定的必然性、长期性和复杂性，这种局面难以在短期内根本扭转，我们既要认真应对，也要平常心看待。

　　他介绍说，在应对对国外贸易保护主义和保护国内产业利益方面，商务部做了很多工作。并强化了对企业的法律技术指导服务，支持中国企业运用法律维权，支持相关商协会和国外的业界进行交流。在针对进口产品不公平竞争方面，商务部通过开展贸易救济调查，维护产业安全和企业合法权益。去年中国共对外发起反倾销调查11起，涉及进口产品6种，发起反补贴调查1起，涉及进口产品1种。
