China rebukes US solar firms' anti-dumping complaint

Seven US solar manufacturers clamored to impose more than 100% duties on China solar imports.

According to a Reuters report, China warned the United States not to take protectionist measures that could harm the global economy.

Reuters noted that seven U.S. solar manufacturers on Wednesday asked the Obama administration to impose duties of more than 100 percent on China solar imports, which they said were unfairly undercutting U.S. prices and destroying American jobs.

According to the report, an unnamed official said in a statement posted on the Chinese Commerce Ministry's website, "If the U.S. government files a case, adopts duties and sends an inappropriate protectionist signal, it would cast a shadow over world economic recovery."
