WTO成立以来,全球爆发了大规模的贸易争端,以美国、欧盟为代表的西方发达国家凭借其亲手制定的国际贸易规则,频繁发起针对中国、印度等发展中国的反倾销、反补贴案例调查,并长期对来自发展中国家的商品征收高额的反倾销、反补贴关税。然而,近年来,以印度为代表的发展中国家,也纷纷利用WTO争端解决机制,通过相关法定程序,保护和发展本国贸易与经济。此时,WTO争端解决机制既是剑又是盾。 Since the founding of the WTO, large-scale trade disputes have taken place in the world. The developed western countries, represented by the United States and the European Union, frequently launch case investigations on the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy cases of China, India and other developing countries by virtue of their own international trade rules. Prolonged anti-dumping and countervailing duties on commodities from developing countries have long been imposed. However, in recent years, developing countries represented by India have also used the WTO dispute settlement mechanism to protect and develop their own trade and economy through relevant legal procedures. At this point, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is both a sword and a shield.
