SUBSIDIES  
QUESTIONS F ROM THE UNITED STATE S REGARDING  
THE SUB-CENTRAL NEW AND FULL NOTIFIC ATION OF CHINA1 
The following communication, dated 6 April 2017 , is being ci rculated at the request of the 
Delegation of  the United States . 
 
_______________  
 
 
The Unit ed States extends its compliments to China on the submission of China 's first subsidy 
notification covering sub -central subsidy programs. We understand, as most, if not all, Members 
with sub -central governments do, that the collection and compilation of th e information needed for 
a subsidy notification at the sub -central level of government is a difficult and time -consuming task. 
We note, however, that China 's first subsidy notification, which was to cover all levels of 
government, was due fifteen years ago . Such a delay, obviously, does not facilitate the degree of 
transparency envisioned by the Agreement on Subsidies and Cou ntervailing Measures 
(Subsidies  Agreement). We also find that the notification evidences the same inadequacies as 
China 's central gove rnment notification – over-reporting of subsidies that are very likely not 
subject to the notification obligation ( e.g., special funds to alleviate poverty and employment 
programs for rural labour ) and under -reporting of subsidies that are subject to the n otification 
obligation ( e.g., sub-central subsidy programs for steel, aluminium  and fisheries). We hope and 
expect that China will begin providing full sub -central subsidy notifications in a timely manner 
going forward.  
 
General Questions  
 
1. We understand  that there are 32 provincial -level administrative units in China 
(excluding Hong Kong and Macau) in China, yet the notification appears to include 
subsidy programs from only 20 of these entities. When will China provide a subsidy 
notification for the rema ining entities?  
 
2. How does China decide if a program is a central government program or a sub -central 
government program for purposes of its subsidy notification? The Famous Export 
Brand, for example, was pursuant to a central government measure but was not 
included in the central government notification but was included in the sub -central 
notification. Is the determining factor the level of government that funds the 
program? What if the program is jointly funded by more than one level of 
government?  
 
3. Why was the Strategic Emerging Industries (SEI) program included in the central 
government notification but not at the sub -central level, despite numerous programs 
at the sub -central level that appear to be at least partially funded at the sub -central 
level (see, for example, Shanghai Municipality Measure on the Administration of the 
Strategic Emerging Industries Development Special Fund , Shanghai Municipal 
Development and Reform Commission, Shanghai Municipal Department of Finance, Hu

  Fu Fa [2012] No. 72, 4 August 2012, included in the United States ' third counter -
notification on China 's SEI program: G/SCM/Q2/CHN/53, 19 October 2015)  
 
4. Numerous "Incentive Fund for Famous -Brand Products" (linked to the Famous Export 
Brands/World Top Brand programs) measure s were included in the notification. We 
are aware that certain central government measures were implemented to establish 
the Famous Export Brand program (see, e.g., Guiding Opinion on Supporting 
Development of Brand Exports ; Shang Mao Fa [2005] No. 124). T hese measures were 
included in the dispute brought by the United States in 2008 (see, China – Grants, 
Loans and Other Incentives , DS-387; focusing on the Famous Export Brand and World 
Top Brand programs)  Please explain why the central government measures t hat 
established the Famous Export Brand Program and World Top Brand programs have 
not been notified.  
 
5. Why were the measures listed below, which relate to the "Famous Export Brand" or 
"World Top Brand" programs, not included in the notification? These me asures were 
part of the dispute brought by the United States in 2008 ( China – Grants, Loans and 
Other Incentives , DS-387) and were included in the first counter notification of the 
United States (see, G/SCM/Q2/CHN/42, 21 October 2011) but did not appear in  
China 's sub -central notification (a lthough other Famous Export Brand and World Top 
Brand programs were included).

6. Why did China not include in either its the central or sub -central subsidy notifications 
the successor progr am to the Famous Export Brand program; namely: the 
Internationally Well -Known Brand program, which has been implemented at the 
central and sub -central levels of government (see, e.g., Ministry of Commerce, 
National Development and Reform Commission, Minist ry of Finance, Ministry of 
Science and Technology, General Administration of Customs, State Administration of 
Taxation, State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and General 
Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Notice on t he 
Publication of the Guiding Opinion on Promoting the Cultivation Work of International 
Well-Known Brands ; Shang Mao Fa [2009] No. 150)?  G/SCM/Q2/CHN/69  
 
- 6 - 
 
  7. Why is none of the steel, aluminium  and fishery subsidy programs at the sub -central 
level of government included in  the notification (see, for example, the United States 
second counter -notification: G/SCM/Q2/CHN/50, 14 October 2014 and fourth counter -
notification: G/SCM/Q2/CHN/59, 21 April 2016)?  
 
8. Why was none of the "Auto Export Base" programs not included in the n otification 
(see, China — Certain Measures Affecting the Automobile and Automobile -Parts 
Industries , DS-450)? (The United States argued that this program was a prohibited 
export subsidy.)  
 
9. Why was none of the "Demonstration Base" programs not included i n the notification 
(see, China – Measures Related to Demonstration Bases and Common Service 
Platforms Programs , DS-489)? (The United States argued that this program was a 
prohibited export subsidy.)  
 
10. Over one-half of the programs notified appear to be contingent upon exportation, 
and are (or were) therefore, prohibited. What assurances do Members have that all of 
these programs have expired or have been repealed, and none have not been 
replaced by similar programs?  
 
11. Does the phrase "financial approp riations" mean government grants in all instances 
throughout the notification?
