USTR Threatens Legal Action Over Chinese Semi-Conductor Tax Rebates

by Glen Shapiro, LawAndTax-News.com, New York

09 February 2004

Deputy Assistant US Trade Representative, Charles Freeman, last week revealed that the United States is considering taking legal action against China over a semiconductor tax rebate program which, the USTR argues, discriminates against foreign suppliers.

Speaking on Thursday, the US Trade official revealed that the department was "actively preparing a case" to be taken to the World Trade Organisation, if agreement cannot be reached with the Chinese authorities in the next few months.

However, he added that:

"I think we're going to give it one last shot bilaterally before going to dispute settlement."
