As countries around the world seek to reduce their exposure to China, Taiwan finds itself in the center of the process. I just spent two months in Kaohsiung, Taiwan (working on a large multi-country project involving China, Taiwan and Indonesia) and during my time there I heard much about Taiwan’s response to the trade crisis.
There is now an opportunity to request DOC AD/CVD Administrative Reviews for products with AD/CVD orders with a December anniversary month.
We have posted about many antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) petitions that trigger investigations conducted by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) on imports of certain products.

I just read an article by Shaun Rein, entitled, “Why A Fast Appreciating Yuan Won’t Help US Economy,” and I have bones to pick with it. Let me start out by saying that I “talk China” pretty much every day and I have never spoken with anyone who believes all of the United States’ economic
What can you learn from what Nike is doing?

Let the hate mail begin. Whenever we write on how things are getting bad for foreign companies doing business in China and on how foreign companies should think long and hard before doing business in China, we get hate mail or hate comments (which we typically delete). Many of these come from China consultants who
A Spanish client directed me to a link of a Martin Jacques‘ Ted Talk on China. I watched it and liked and I wanted to share it with our readers. You can watch and listen to the speech here, and below is a transcription of Mr. Jacques’ speech. The world is changing at remarkable speed. If
