面对全球范围内对中国低价商品愈发强烈的不满情绪，日本与韩国最近加入了对中国的钢铁产品采取反倾销措施的行列。
日本经济产业省计划扩大反倾销关税范围，目标包括了来自第三国途经的中国钢铁以及其他产品。与此同时，在周四的消息中指出，针对来自中国的不锈钢板进口展开了反倾销调查。
这些动作应运而生，正值多个国家对中国作为全球最大制造国所引发的廉价商品流入深感担忧之时。美国在今年早些时候提高了对从中国进口钢材的关税，与南美国家采取类似举措相呼应。
值得注意的是，中国的钢铁行业产量正在减少。到2024年前8个月，相较于去年同期，钢铁生产已下滑超过3%。然而，国内需求放缓使得即便如此缩减生产规模，在该期间，中国的钢铁出口仍增长了。
首尔政府指出一家当地企业指控，中国产品销售价格低于市场水平。
另外，日本贸易机构计划在本月末前向财政省提出要求，在即将来临的预算年度内对关税进行调整。作为此举的一部分，最大的钢铁生产商日立制铁株式会社表示正在与其他本地公司一同呼吁，请求政府对中国进口建筑用钢采取反倾销措施。

原文摘要：
Japan and South Korea are the latest countries to target Chinese steel products with anti-dumping measures, amid a growing backlash across the world against the country’s cheaper commodities. Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is seeking to broaden the scope of anti-dumping duties to cover Chinese steel among other products routed via third countries. Meanwhile, said Thursday it has launched an anti-dumping probe into imports of stainless steel plates made in China.The actions come as concerns grow in a number of countries over the impact of cheap goods flowing from the world’s biggest manufacturing nation. The US announced higher tariffs on Chinese steel earlier this year, adding to South American countries which also hiked taxes on the same.China’s steel industry has been decreasing output, with production down more than 3% in the first eight months in 2024 compared with the same period last year. But the domestic slowdown means that even with that cut, there’s for the local economy to absorb, pushing steel exports up in the same period.Officials in Seoul said a local company has alleged that Chinese products were sold below market value.Meanwhile, the Japanese trade agency is considering approaching the Ministry of Finance before the end of this month, when all government agencies present their requests for tariff revisions in the following fiscal year. The country’s biggest steel manufacturer Nippon Steel Corp. had said it is lobbying the government alongside other local firms to impose measures against Chinese imports of the building metal.
