**Abstract**
Under the "double anti-" pressure from Europe and the United States, China's photovoltaic industry managed to survive through a challenging 2013. Looking back at those turbulent times, it's clear that the survival of the Chinese PV sector was not just due to luck—it was the result of strategic decisions and resilience. The domestic application market, launched with support from the government, played a crucial role in keeping the industry afloat. Additionally, the upstream polysilicon industry took the initiative to launch a "self-defense counterattack," ultimately leading to the "China-EU" price commitment strategy, which allowed for continued production and exports.
However, this was only the beginning. In early 2014, the U.S. once again intensified its "double anti-dumping" measures, targeting all crystalline silicon photovoltaic products imported from China. This move significantly restricted China’s access to the U.S. market, forcing companies to seek alternative routes. Meanwhile, new challenges emerged as import data revealed a surge in polysilicon imports, raising concerns about trade imbalances and unfair practices.
The use of processing trade became a common workaround, allowing foreign polysilicon to enter China without facing the full brunt of tariffs. While this helped keep production going, it also exposed vulnerabilities in China's trade policies. For instance, a significant portion of polysilicon imports came through processing trade, bypassing the "double anti-" duties. This raised questions about whether China was truly protecting its own interests or merely enabling foreign manufacturers to benefit.
In 2013, despite these challenges, China managed to export around 2.5 GW of photovoltaic modules to the U.S., but much of this was achieved through indirect means—like using components from Taiwan, which relied on imported materials rather than domestic polysilicon. This highlighted a growing imbalance in the supply chain and raised concerns about how China's trade policies were being exploited by foreign players.
The situation was not unique to the U.S. Similar issues arose with Germany and South Korea, where large amounts of polysilicon were imported into China, yet very little of the resulting PV modules were exported back. This created a cycle where China's resources were used to fuel foreign markets, while its own industry struggled under the weight of international regulations.
As the global competition in the PV sector intensifies, it becomes increasingly clear that China needs to rethink its approach. The reliance on processing trade, while beneficial in the short term, is not sustainable. It's time for more proactive strategies that prioritize innovation, fair trade, and long-term competitiveness. The future of China's solar industry depends on its ability to adapt and lead—not just in volume, but in quality and technology.
In conclusion, while the "double anti-" measures have posed serious challenges, they also serve as a wake-up call. The path forward requires not only resilience but also a deeper understanding of global trade dynamics. Only then can China truly transform from a major trading nation into a true trading power.
