Anti-dumping investigations are a commonly used trade remedy instrument under the framework of the WTO. China's move constitutes a legitimate trade remedy rather than a trade restriction targeting any particular country,
China's preliminary determination is a routine trade remedy action conducted in accordance with relevant Chinese laws and regulations and WTO rules,
If dumping exists, it could create significant unfair competition for related industries and enterprises by suppressing domestic market prices and squeezing the normal operating space of domestic producers,

China releases assessment report on UNCLOS, exposing Philippines' core tactics of abusing the Convention

The UNCLOS only regulates matters related to maritime rights and has no authority to handle territorial sovereignty disputes. The core of the China-Philippines dispute is precisely the issue of territorial sovereignty over islands and reefs,
In the report, we also analyze the complex underlying motivations for the tribunal's active accommodation of the Philippines' claims. Some scholars point out that the tribunal intended to create a groundbreaking precedent through this case, but the legal reasoning behind it contains many flaws,
Particularly against the current backdrop where the authority of the United Nations is being challenged and the foundations of multilateralism are being eroded, practices such as misinterpreting and distorting the meaning of the Convention's provisions, abusing its dispute settlement procedures, and arbitrarily expanding judicial or arbitral jurisdiction have quietly emerged. All of these are gradually undermining the Convention's seriousness, integrity, and authority,

Champions aren't always the teams that play the best football; they're the teams that know how to win even when they aren't at their best. Japan has learned how to compete with the world's strongest teams, but it has yet to learn how to finish off a heavyweight contest,
I felt we had chances. In this match we played believing we had a chance to win, and in reality we did have chances we couldn't take. That's why I feel my own abilities as coach were what fell short the most,
Yuxuan Sunfootball commentator
Despite being widely regarded as Asia's strongest national team, Japan has never won a knockout match at the World Cup,
Japan produced a solid first half with aggressive pressing and quick transitions that unsettled Brazil and earned them the opening goal,
Given the huge disparity in squad strength, Japan relied on solid defending, relentless work rate and high pressing to score against Brazil. That alone is remarkable,
At the decisive moments, there's still a gap in sheer quality,
