The Ministry of Commerce "breaks in silence" on the "double opposition" of the EU polysilicon

As Lu Xun said, "it does not die in silence, it breaks out in silence." Recently, in the face of the European Commission’s aggressiveness against China’s photovoltaic cell industry, the European Commission formally launched the largest anti-dumping investigation against China’s photovoltaic cells to date on September 6. Meanwhile, the anti-subsidy lawsuit initiated by the European Photovoltaic Industry Alliance on September 25 will also Was placed on file, the Ministry of Commerce decided not to be silent. On the morning of the 1st, the Ministry of Commerce formally announced that it would formally initiate an investigation into the “double-anti-dumping (anti-dumping and countervailing)” investigation complaint against polysilicon produced by four polysilicon manufacturers in Chongqing Daquan.

Xiao Bian applauds this decision. For a long time, China's polysilicon industry has faced multiple pressures from foreign companies. The first is the impact of low-price imports. This point is often criticized by our country. Even the EU’s “double opposition” mentioned that China’s photovoltaic industry is suspected of dumping on the EU. In fact, EU polysilicon has a greater impact on China's PV market. Many European companies have a cost price of US$20-25/kg, while in China, they only sell US$17. Low-cost and low-cost pricing have made domestic polysilicon companies struggling. Second, the domestic photovoltaic industry has repeatedly encountered "double reverse." Since the beginning of this year, the United States, Europe, and India have launched "double countermeasures" on China's photovoltaic products, and the difficulty of exporting polysilicon has been rising. The Chinese PV industry, which relies on exports for 90% of its products, is undoubtedly a deadly blow.

Under such circumstances, if the Chinese government continues to "silence," the polysilicon industry is likely to face a "death." Therefore, the voice of the Ministry of Commerce, Xiaobian vigorously supported. Xiao Bian thinks that this anti-dumping investigation against the EU has at least two aspects.

The first is that China's counter-measures will cause the European Commission to have certain taboos. For a long time, China has also established a friendly international environment in order to prevent trade wars, and has taken more refrain from adopting a vocal attitude toward international economic disputes. It was because of the lack of timely countermeasures against the United States that the final results of the US team’s Chinese PV products were eventually filed.

Second, the "double anti-" investigation can ease the plight of domestic polysilicon companies. Since the "double reverse" will inevitably reduce the domestic imports of polysilicon, in the case of unchanged domestic demand, many domestic polysilicon companies should be able to "get back to life", and correspondingly to the domestic polysilicon industry can also "breathe". Look for new demand points and fight for exports.
