  • Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations On
    FACT SHEET Preliminary Determinations in the Antidumping Duty Investigations on Certain Frozen and Canned Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam On July 6, the Department announced its preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on imports of certain frozen and canned warmwater shrimp from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). We preliminarily find that with the exception of one Chinese producer/exporter, Zhangjiang Guolian Aquatic Products Co., Ltd., Chinese and Vietnamese producers/exporters have sold frozen and canned warmwater shrimp in the U.S. market at less than fair value, with margins ranging from 7.67 percent to 112.81 percent for imports from the PRC and 12.11 percent to 93.13 percent for imports from Vietnam. Next Steps: Interested parties are invited to submit comments on these preliminary determinations. The Department will consider all submitted comments along with record evidence before making its final determinations on or about November 24, 2004. If the Department makes a final affirmative determination in either or both investigations, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) is scheduled to make its final injury determinations on or about January 8, 2005. If the ITC makes a final affirmative determination that imports are materially injuring, or threatening to materially injure, the domestic industry, the Department will issue antidumping duty orders and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) to collect cash deposits on imports of subject merchandise. Companies Qualifying for a “Separate Rate”: Based on the voluntary questionnaire responses submitted by certain Chinese and Vietnamese companies, the Department has preliminarily determined that these companies have demonstrated an absence of government control that is required to be eligible to receive “separate-rate” status.

But the place is more than just looks and proximity to Macau and Hong Kong. It’s one of China’s five Special Economic Zones and transportation and logistic hubs. It’s where the Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition is held and last year exhibited the Shenzhou 7 orbital module, famous for the first Chinese space walk. What’s more, Zhuhai is a market for U.S. agric ultural products in the retail sector and has links in the American swine sector.

  • A Tale of Five Cities: the China Residential Energy Consumption Survey
    A Tale of Five Cities: The China Residential Energy Consumption Survey Debbie Brockett, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory David Fridley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Jieming Lin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Jiang Lin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ABSTRACT Consumption of electricity in the residential sector in China has risen faster than all other energy forms in China over the last 20 years, driven in part by the enormous increase in household appliance ownership, but few details are known about the characteristics of overall household energy use, particularly in the wake of the dramatic changes in the last two dec- ades. Despite the growing importance of this sector to the evolution of future energy con- sumption patterns, few data exist about the nature and type of urban household energy con- sumption. This paper summarizes the initial results of a first-ever 5-city, 251-household comprehensive survey of Chinese household energy use, taken in the cities of Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Yixing, and Shenyang. Focus in this paper is on analysis of the major electricity consuming products in households, but summaries of the findings on housing characteristics, space heating, air conditioning, hot water supply and use, indoor lighting, cooking, refrigeration, other appliances, house insulation, energy consumption in winter and summer months, energy prices, and household demographic information are also included. The findings support the current policy to emphasize development of minimum efficiency standards for household equipment, as energy consumption from these sources are a signifi- cant portion of the household energy budget. Background of China RECS In 1980, fully 90% of household energy in China derived from the direct burning of coal.
