Article VI of the GATT 1994, the Agreement on Im plementation of Article VI of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 ("Anti-Dumping Agreement") and the SCM Agreement shall
apply in proceedings involving imports of Chinese origin into a WTO Member consistent with the
following:
(a) In determining price comparability under Article VI of the GATT 1994 and the
Anti-Dumping Agreement, the importing WTO Member shall use either Chinese
prices or costs for the industry under investigation or a methodology that is not based
on a strict comparison with domestic prices or costs in China based on the following
rules:
(i) If the producers under investigation can clearly show that market economy
conditions prevail in the industry producing the like product with regard to
the manufacture, production and sale of that product, the importing WTO
Member shall use Chinese prices or costs for the industry under investigation
in determining price comparability;WT/L/432
Page 9
(ii) The importing WTO Member may use a methodology that is not based on a
strict comparison with domestic prices or costs in China if the producers
under investigation cannot clearly show that market economy conditions
prevail in the industry producing the like product with regard to manufacture,production and sale of that product.
(b) In proceedings under Parts II, III and V of the SCM Agreement, when addressing
subsidies described in Articles 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(d), relevant provisions of
the SCM Agreement shall apply;  however, if there are special difficulties in that
application, the importing WTO Member may then use methodologies for identifying
and measuring the subsidy benefit which take into account the possibility thatprevailing terms and conditions in China may not always be available as appropriate
benchmarks.  In applying such methodologies, where practicable, the importing WTO
Member should adjust such prevailing terms and conditions before considering the
use of terms and conditions prevailing outside China.
(c) The importing WTO Member shall notify methodologies used in accordance with
subparagraph (a) to the Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices and shall notify
methodologies used in accordance with subparagraph (b) to the Committee on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.
(d) Once China has established, under the national law of the importing WTO Member,
that it is a market economy, the provisions of subparagraph (a) shall be terminated
provided that the importing Member's national law contains market economy criteria
as of the date of accession.  In any event, the provisions of subparagraph (a)(ii) shall
expire 15 years after the date of accession.  In addition, should China establish,pursuant to the national law of the importing WTO Member, that market economy
conditions prevail in a particular industry or sector, the non-market economy
provisions of subparagraph (a) shall no longer apply to that industry or sector.
16. Transitional Product-Specific Safeguard Mechanism
1. In cases where products of Chinese origin are being imported into the territory of any
WTO Member in such increased quantities or under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause
market disruption to the domestic producers of like or directly competitive products, the
WTO Member so affected may request consultations with China with a view to seeking a mutually
satisfactory solution, including whether the affected WTO Member should pursue application of a
measure under the Agreement on Safeguards.  Any such request shall be notified immediately to theCommittee on Safeguards.
2. If, in the course of these bilateral consultations, it is agreed that imports of Chinese origin are
such a cause and that action is necessary, China shall take such action as to prevent or remedy the
market disruption.  Any such action shall be noti fied immediately to the Committee on Safeguards.
3. If consultations do not lead to an agreement between China and the WTO Member concerned
within 60 days of the receipt of a request for consultations, the WTO Member affected shall be free,
in respect of such products, to withdraw concessions  or otherwise to limit imports only to the extent
necessary to prevent or remedy such market disruption.  Any such action shall be notifiedimmediately to the Committee on Safeguards.
4. Market disruption shall exist whenever imports of an article, like or directly competitive with
an article produced by the domestic industry, are increasing rapidly, either absolutely or relatively, so
as to be a significant cause of material injury, or threat of material injury to the domestic industry.  InWT/L/432
Page 10
determining if market disruption exists, the affected WTO Member shall consider objective factors,
including the volume of imports, the effect of imports on prices for like or directly competitive
articles, and the effect of such imports on the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive
products.
5. Prior to application of a measure pursuant to paragraph 3, the WTO Member taking such
action shall provide reasonable public notice to all interested parties and provide adequate opportunity
for importers, exporters and other interested parties to submit their views and evidence on the
appropriateness of the proposed measure and whether it would be in the public interest.  The
WTO Member shall provide written notice of the decision to apply a measure, including the reasons
for such measure and its scope and duration.
6. A WTO Member shall apply a measure pursuant to this Section only for such period of time
as may be necessary to prevent or remedy the market disruption.  If a measure is taken as a result of a
relative increase in the level of imports, China has the right to suspend the application of substantially
equivalent concessions or obligations under the GATT 1994 to the trade of the WTO Member
applying the measure, if such measure remains in effect more than two years.  However, if a measureis taken as a result of an absolute increase in imports, China has a right to suspend the application of
substantially equivalent concessions or obligations under the GATT 1994 to the trade of the WTO
Member applying the measure, if such measure remains in effect more than three years.  Any such
action by China shall be notified immediately to the Committee on Safeguards.
7. In critical circumstances, where delay would cause damage which it would be difficult to
repair, the WTO Member so affected may take a provisional safeguard measure pursuant to a
preliminary determination that imports have caused or threatened to cause market disruption.  In this
case, notification of the measures taken to the Committee on Safeguards and a request for bilateral
consultations shall be effected immediately thereafter.  The duration of the provisional measure shallnot exceed 200 days during which the pertinent requirements of paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 shall be met.
The duration of any provisional measure shall be counted toward the period provided for under
paragraph 6.
8. If a WTO Member considers that an action taken under paragraphs 2, 3 or 7 causes or
threatens to cause significant diversions of trade into its market, it may request consultations with
China and/or the WTO Member concerned.  Such consultations shall be held within 30 days after therequest is notified to the Committee on Safeguards.  If such consultations fail to lead to an agreement
between China and the WTO Member or Members concerned within 60 days after the notification,
the requesting WTO Member shall be free, in respect of such product, to withdraw concessions
accorded to or otherwise limit imports from China, to  the extent necessary to prevent or remedy such
diversions.  Such action shall be notified  immediately to the Committee on Safeguards.
9. Application of this Section shall be terminated 12 years after the date of accession.
17. Reservations by WTO Members
All prohibitions, quantitative restrictions and other measures maintained by WTO Members
against imports from China in a manner inconsistent with the WTO Agreement are listed in Annex 7.
All such prohibitions, quantitative restrictions and other measures shall be phased out or dealt with in
accordance with mutually agreed terms and timetables as specified in the said Annex.WT/L/432
Page 11
18. Transitional Review Mechanism

under the WTO Agreement or this Protocol shall, within one year after accession and in accordance
with paragraph 4 below, review, as appropriate to  their mandate, the implementation by China of the
WTO Agreement and of the related provisions of this Protocol.  China shall provide relevant
information, including information specified in Annex 1A, to each subsidiary body in advance of the
review.  China can also raise issues relating to any reservations under Section 17 or to any other
specific commitments made by other Members in this Protocol, in those subsidiary bodies which have
a relevant mandate.  Each subsidiary body shall report the results of such review promptly to the
relevant Council established by paragraph 5 of Article IV of the WTO Agreement, if applicable,
which shall in turn report promptly to the General Council.
2. The General Council shall, within one year after accession, and in accordance with
paragraph 4 below, review the implementation by China of the WTO Agreement and the provisions of
this Protocol.  The General Council shall conduct su ch review in accordance with the framework set

also can raise issues relating to any reservati ons under Section 17 or to any other specific
commitments made by other Members in this Protocol.  The General Council may make
recommendations to China and to other Members in these respects.
3. Consideration of issues pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to the rights and
obligations of any Member, including China, under the WTO Agreement or any Plurilateral Trade
Agreement, and shall not preclude or be a precondition to recourse to consultation or other provisions
of the WTO Agreement or this Protocol.
4. The review provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 will take place after accession in each year for
eight years.  Thereafter there will be a final review in year 10 or at an earlier date decided by the
General Council.
