不公平竞争！中方在WTO诉印度IT产品关税及光伏补贴措施

Core Viewpoint - China has filed a complaint against India's tariff measures on information and communication technology (ICT) products and solar subsidies at the World Trade Organization (WTO), claiming these measures violate multiple WTO obligations and provide unfair competitive advantages to Indian industries, harming Chinese interests [1][4]. Group 1: Tariff Measures - China's complaint highlights that India's tariff measures exceed the bound rates specified in its WTO commitments, including an additional import tax known as the Agricultural Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC) [4][7]. - The affected products include photonic semiconductor devices, mobile phones, and machinery for manufacturing ingots or wafers [4]. Group 2: Solar Subsidy Program - The Indian "Production-Linked Incentive Scheme: National Program for High-Efficiency Solar Photovoltaic Modules" aims to boost domestic manufacturing and innovation, which China argues discriminates against imported products [4][5]. - The solar subsidy program offers cash incentives for establishing gigawatt-scale solar module manufacturing facilities in India, with specific local value addition (LVA) requirements [5][6]. - The program is structured in phases, with the second phase prioritizing fully integrated solar module manufacturing units [5]. Group 3: WTO Compliance Issues - China's complaint asserts that India's measures violate GATT obligations by providing less favorable treatment to certain Chinese-origin technology products than what is stipulated in India's schedule [7]. - The solar subsidy program is also claimed to contravene SCM and TRIMs agreements by conditioning subsidies on the use of domestic products over imports [8]. - China reserves the right to present additional claims and facts during the consultation process and any future requests for expert panels [8]. Group 4: Next Steps - China expects a response from India and aims to agree on a convenient date for consultations [9]. - This action follows China's previous complaint regarding India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures, reinforcing its commitment to protecting domestic industry rights [9].
