China's clean energy subsidy has been investigated by the US

The United States or will focus on supporting the local solar, wind and other new energy enterprises Wang You saw the U.S. government launched the "Clean energy policies and measures in China 301 Investigation" News, Suntech Power Holdings Limited (STP). "We are already working on this and we hope for the support of the Government in the future," said Shi, chairman and CEO of the NYSE, "Suntech Holdings". "In Friday, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced that a survey had been launched in response to an application by the United Steelworkers union.　　The main content of the application is that the Chinese government has provided unfair subsidies to solar, wind, new batteries and the new energy auto industry, violating WTO rules.　　The head of the Ministry of Commerce said later that the U.S. steelworkers ' accusation of China's clean energy policy was groundless and irresponsible, and China believes that any trade measures and practices of the US side must strictly abide by WTO rules and will defend its legitimate rights and interests according to WTO rules.　　The survey of China's clean energy subsidy is the first in the United States. The US was asked to make such a survey, Shi analyzed, the U.S. to propose this, mainly with the U.S. government's recent general election, the U.S. candidates may want to raise their prestige in the public, in order to obtain a higher support rate, on October 11, Suntech Holdings, a battery factory based in Arizona, State, USA, has been put into production, with an initial annual output of 30 MW. "From the first half of this year and last year, our PV cell shipments are less than 20% of our overall shipments," he said.　　"China Merchants Securities researcher Wangliucheng pointed out that China and the US have reached a series of deals on clean energy in the second half of last year, which will focus on the development of three start-ups, such as clean coal and carbon sequestration, but suddenly a clean energy subsidy survey by the US could also be linked to a slowdown in U.S. economic growth and rising business volumes in China.　　Taking solar energy, China has accounted for half of the world's solar shipments, and the U.S. solar market is one of the goals of Chinese companies, which will be a major challenge for US companies.　　EPIA (European PV Industry Association) data show that the U.S. PV market in 2009 to reach 1.65GW installation, is the world's top five photovoltaic installation countries, more than 8 times times higher than China, will continue to grow in the future. The U.S. government, associations and companies want to investigate the way to let Chinese companies in the development of the United States can slow down.　　But we also need to know that the whole market is the fittest, the United States solar energy companies if they can not reduce costs, provide efficient battery technology and products, will eventually be ruthless elimination.　　Shi told reporters that since the United Steelworkers union September 9 to the U.S. Trade Representative's Office to submit the comments, Suntech has set up a relevant team to prepare for the lawsuit, and also actively communicate with the association, the Ministry of Commerce. Wangliucheng said the focus of the Chinese response would probably focus on the U.S.The government itself has a large subsidy for clean energy. The head of the Ministry of Commerce points out that U.S. action on China's clean energy policy will signal that the United States does not support China's efforts to improve the environment.　　According to China's preliminary understanding, the United States in the energy sector, including clean energy, as much as 2,300 subsidies, so the U.S. side has no reason to accuse other countries in improving the human environment to make efforts. In fact, Obama's election to the U.S. president has pledged to spend tens of billions of dollars over the next 10 years in the development of new energy technologies, including solar and wind power.　　In other words, such companies face greater challenges from the US investigation. 3 months ago, the U.S. Senate Energy Committee passed the "million solar roof proposal", that is, 2012 U.S. government plans to invest 250 million U.S. dollars, and then invest 500 million U.S. dollars a year, the local private residential, commercial building solar system subsidies.　　If this is not the subsidy, according to the current development of the U.S. market, the local PV market composite growth rate will reach 40%, and if the corresponding incentive and subsidy policy, the future of the U.S. PV market will increase by more than 60% per cent year-on-year. "At the time when we were dealing with dumping accusations in Europe, it was through various channels to the German government that we were not dumping." These methods include lobbying with our customers, distributors, our equipment providers, and so on. There is no concrete result in the case at present. "Solar solar photovoltaic insiders said the U.S. investigation is not clear," but after the European anti-dumping case, the United States to raise the likelihood of similar litigation or investigation is gradually increased. ”
