Secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: China's PV industry must be vigilant against international trade protectionism

Ding Wenwu, Director of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information and Industrialization of China, recently stated at the Photovoltaic Industry Cooperation Promotion Conference held in Nanchang that Chinese PV companies need to be vigilant against international trade protectionism and propose to actively explore the domestic market in order to reduce the number of overseas markets. rely.

With the continuous deterioration of the international energy crisis and the environment, the solar photovoltaic industry has attracted worldwide attention. Thanks to the strong support of the Chinese government, China's photovoltaic industry has developed rapidly and it has now become a major country in the world photovoltaic industry. However, China's photovoltaic products rely on a high degree of overseas dependence, of which more than 90% of solar cells are exported to overseas markets.

Ding Wenwu said that Chinese companies have relied excessively on foreign markets. Once the foreign situation changes slightly, China's photovoltaic industry will suffer a huge impact. "The recent overseas trade protectionism has become even more prominent. Chinese companies must be vigilant against trade risks and the market sings a crisis," he reminded business representatives present here. On November 8, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation on China's solar cells (plates) exported to the United States. This is the first time that the United States has launched a "double counter" investigation on China's clean energy products.

Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shen Danyang pointed out on the 10th that the U.S. government’s restrictions on China’s clean energy products not only undermine the good cooperation atmosphere in the new energy field between China and the United States, but also harm the interests of U.S. industry itself. This restrictive measure runs counter to the global trend of coping with the challenges of climate change and energy security. In this regard, China reserves the right to take corresponding measures within the framework of the WTO rules. Gao Hongling, deputy secretary-general of the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance, said in an interview with reporters that the U.S. will not only harm Chinese companies but also hurt U.S. companies because some of the raw materials and equipment of the Chinese solar industry need to be imported from the United States. In addition, Chinese companies and U.S. companies There is also a partnership.

She said that the coalition will continue to follow up on the progress of the situation. Currently it is organizing the research of industry enterprises to lodge complaints. Other U.S. companies have indicated that they will work together with Chinese companies to oppose this punitive tariff. "The trade war is what we do not want to see. We hope that the global photovoltaic industry can develop better."

Ding Wenwu also said that the recent downturn in the international economy has also caused uncertainty for the development of Chinese PV companies. He suggested that PV companies should seize the opportunities for industrial development adjustment, actively explore the domestic market, and reduce overseas dependence. The government will also support photovoltaic companies to strengthen exchanges and co-operate in order to cope with the current international trade protection situation and tide over difficulties. At the same time, it will also provide support in promoting the implementation of the implementation details of on-grid tariffs and encouraging photovoltaic companies and power companies to strengthen cooperation.
