What are you comments on this trade dispute?

Question

This request, dated 10 July 1997, is in respect of the imposition of anti-dumping duties by the US on imports of colour television receivers (CTVs) from Korea. Korea contends that the US has for the past twelve years maintained an anti-dumping order for Samsung’s CTVs despite the absence of dumping and the cessation of exports from Korea, without examining the necessity of continuing to impose such duties.

Answer 1

In my opinion charges of dumping are ALWAYS bogus, and the government only plays along as a way to rationalize mere protectionism. In this case, I'd be confident that Korea is correct in its complaint that the US government is unfairly charging and penalizing Samsung for dumping.
