| Announcement on Countervailing Investigation against Imports of Grain Sorghum Originating in the United States | | 关于对原产于美国的进口高粱进行反补贴立案调查的公告 |
| According to Article 18 of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Countervailing: "Under special circumstances, the MOFCOM can decide to file a case-filing investigation if there is sufficient evidence that there are subsidies and damages and is causal relationship between them even though it did not receive any written application for a countervailing investigation." | | 《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》第十八条规定：“在特殊情形下，商务部没有收到反补贴调查的书面申请，但有充分证据认为存在补贴和损害以及二者之间有因果关系的，可以决定立案调查。” |
| Preliminary evidence and information obtained by the MOFCOM show that the imports of grain sorghum originating in the United States are subject to subsidies from the U.S. government. At the same time, grain sorghum soared into Chinese market at constantly decreasing price, which reduced and suppressed the prices of similar products in China's domestic industry, and the economic indicators of the similar products in the domestic industry showed a deteriorating trend. The preliminary evidence and information obtained by the MOFCOM also show that backed by huge output of grain sorghum in the United States and the increasing inventories, the United States exports more than 50% of its output since 2013.According to the preliminary evidence and information obtained by the MOFCOM, the domestic industry in China has suffered from and been threatened by material injury, and that there is a causal relationship between the subsidies accepted for import from the United States and the material injury and material injury threat to the domestic industry. | | 商务部获得的初步证据和信息显示，原产于美国的进口高粱接受了美国政府的补贴。同时，该产品进入中国市场数量大幅增长，价格持续下降，对中国国内产业同类产品价格造成削减和抑制，国内产业同类产品有关经济指标呈恶化趋势。商务部获得的初步证据和信息还显示，美国高粱产量巨大，库存增加，2013年以来美国高粱出口数量占其产量比例均在50%以上。商务部获得的初步证据和信息显示，中国国内产业遭受了实质损害和实质损害威胁，且自美国进口产品所接受的补贴与国内产业实质损害和实质损害威胁存在因果关系。 |
The MOFCOM decides, according to Article 18 | | 依据《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》第十八条的规定，商务部决定自2018年2月4日起对原产于美国的进口高粱进行反补贴立案调查。现将有关事项公告如下： |
