Zhang: China does not have any new energy equipment manufacturers discrimination clause

Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Zhang, director of the National Energy Bureau, said 17th that the United States launched a new energy policy measures 301 survey, the real damage is the United States, will only be the United States to the country's new energy industry subsidies more exposed to the world, the United States will not win the　　Zhang said in a joint interview with the Chinese and foreign media, the U.S. side of the indictment some words ambiguous, the data listed are inaccurate, many are imaginary and guess. Zhang said China's total subsidy to new energy companies is negligible in all respects.　　However, the data show that the United States in January-September this year, the United States by way of cash payments to the U.S. new energy companies to provide 4.6 billion U.S. dollars subsidies, the U.S. wind power companies have received 3 billion of dollars in subsidies. In response to the U.S. proposal that China's wind power bidding for Chinese companies, foreign-owned enterprises have discrimination, Zhang responded to "completely untrue", China does not have any new energy equipment manufacturers discriminatory provisions. He said that from 2003 to 2005, a number of foreign wind power manufacturers and Chinese enterprises jointly bid, they have participated in the Chinese project bidding, but also in the bid.　　After 2005, the probability of bidding for foreign companies became very small, mainly because prices were much more expensive than in China, foreign companies were unwilling to bid, but were looking for buyers directly. Zhang said that, in contrast to China's openness, the US announced the Recovery Reinvestment Act in 2009, which subsidizes U.S. renewables, energy efficiency and smart grids, with $25.2 billion trillion in subsidies to renewables.　　The energy efficiency and renewable energy sector of the United States, August 16, 2010, makes an interim provision for 6 months, requiring the use of U.S.-made wafers to obtain subsidised solar projects. "How much new energy products does China export to the US?" Zhang's tone is urgent. So far, China has only exported three wind turbines to the US, less than 10,000-kilowatt. The U.S. General Electric Company in 2005 to export to China's wind turbines up to 80,000-kilowatt, 2009, the U.S. General Electric Company to China's export of wind turbines up to 340,000-kilowatt, increased by more than four times times.　　Five year cumulative export 1.13 Million-kilowatt.　　Zhang said that in 2009, China's wind power market of about 85 billion yuan, of which 21% procurement abroad, this figure is enough to show that China's wind power, to foreign countries to create a large number of opportunities to export to China. "In our dealings with the United States, I have always maintained a very sincere attitude, especially in the field of renewable and new energy, which is a common problem facing mankind." "said Zhang.　　China and the United States should engage in dialogue and communication on new energy sources. It is understood that the U.S. proposed October 12 of the Sino-US new Energy video dialogue, due to the U.S. reason has been delayed. "I was very surprised and wondering what America wanted." Do they want a fair trade? Or do you want a normal conversation? or want transparent information? "From the whole timeline, I think the US side is more likely to get votes."　　"said Zhang. United States local time October 15The U.S. Trade Representative's office announced a 301 survey of policies and measures to clean energy in China, as applied by the United Steelworkers union.　　Article 301 of the United States refers to the full content of the 第1301-1310 section of the 1988 Comprehensive Trade and Competition Act, the main meaning of which is to protect the rights of the United States in international trade and to retaliate against other countries deemed "unreasonable" and "unfair" in trade practices. Under this provision, the United States could investigate the trade practices of other countries that it considered "unfair" and could consult with the Governments concerned and, finally, the president's decision to adopt retaliatory measures such as tariff increases, restrictions on imports and cessation of relevant agreements.
