In the field of international trade and WTO disputes, Dr. QIAN has represented the Government of China, exporting producers and Chambers of Commerce in a number of landmark trade investigations, such as the EU’s first anti-subsidy proceeding against China (Coated Fine Paper), China’s first WTO dispute against EU (DS397) and US first 337 investigation against steel products from China (investigation No. 337-TA-1002).
In the EU Fasteners dispute (DS397), Dr. Qian acted as the legal counsel to MOFCOM, and the historic issue of “individual treatment” was settled in that case. As the result, EU amended the original Article 9.5 of its Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation on 3 September 2012, and the EU anti-dumping measures against fasteners from China was withdrawn on 27 February 2016.
With regard to US 337 Section, in the investigation against steel products from China (investigation No. 337-Ta-1002), Dr. Qian represented a major Chinese steel enterprise as respondent and won all the claims in that case. Likewise, in the 337 investigation against High-Potency Sweeteners (337-TA-1030), she represented the biggest Chinese exporter and won the case.
Dr. QIAN used to work for the Delegation of the European Commission to China for treaty negotiation and Science & Technology cooperation programs. Since February 2009, she worked as a lawyer in providing legal services of WTO and international trade, US Section 337 investigations, intellectual property and export control.

"The implementation of the Xinjiang Related Act continues to expand, and how should Chinese enterprises respond?"
In early January 2022, the United States Customs and Border Protection (hereinafter referred to as "the United States Customs") detained a batch of Chinese dates at the port of Oakland, California, under the Xinjiang Related Act, on the grounds that these dates were produced in Xinjiang and the packaging was printed with the "Xinjiang Construction Corps" icon [1]. This event indicates that the implementation of the Xinjiang Related Program is not limited to specific products such as photovoltaic, cotton, and tomatoes. Therefore, if exporters lack knowledge of the risks involved in Xinjiang, they may result in the export goods being detained or even destroyed by the United States Customs. The following will briefly introduce the key points of the Xinjiang Related Act and the coping strategies of Chinese enterprises in this new context.

A Preliminary Study on EU Carbon Tariff Policy
"Carbon tariffs refer to tariffs imposed by importing countries on high energy consumption imported products such as cement, steel, aluminum, oil refining, paper making, glass, chemicals, and fertilizers, with the aim of raising the import costs of the aforementioned foreign products, in order to avoid the domestic industry of the importing country losing its price advantage due to the implementation of higher environmental standards.". The rationality and legitimacy of this policy have always been highly controversial. Currently, no country has officially imposed a carbon tariff, but the EU has proposed increasingly specific carbon tariff policy goals and plans, and is expected to start implementing them in 2023. The EU's approach is likely to be emulated by other developed countries, which will have a systematic impact on the global economic and trade situation, especially on China's exports of high energy consumption products such as steel and chemicals.

Looking for new machines for photovoltaic products after entering Ornault
After difficult negotiations,the EU's"double anti"investigation into China's photovoltaic industry ended with a"price commitment"plan.Although price commitments are relatively flexible trade measures compared to the imposition of anti-dumping duties,due to the setting of minimum prices for Chinese exports,mainland enterprises that are not competitive in the high-end market have lost significant market share.However,after experiencing the"double anti"storm in Europe and the United States,China's photovoltaic industry has increasingly attached importance to improving quality and technology.With the continuous innovation and improvement of technological level of enterprises,as well as the reasonable guidance of policies,the competitiveness of China's photovoltaic industry will be improved and new development opportunities will be ushered in.

What lawyers should do to curb commercial corruption
The Lansu commercial bribery incident was officially investigated by the Chinese police at the end of June this year,and has received high attention at home and abroad since the case was filed.Firstly,the amount involved in this case is extremely high.Since 2007,Glaxo has transferred as much as 3 billion yuan of funds through intermediaries.Secondly,there are many institutions involved in this case.After investigation,the police found that more than 700 travel agencies assisted Glaxo in bribery,and it is difficult to count the doctors who accepted bribes.Moreover,in this case,the nature of commercial bribery conducted by the company is very serious,and even teaches employees how to offer and accept bribes.In addition,the financial department is also arranged to cooperate with sales personnel to falsify accounts.The Glaxo incident has shaken the entire medical industry,and the public has paid high attention to it.The author believes that the legal services of lawyers in this field are worth studying.

Win in America! Gaopeng Represented Chinese Steel Enterprises for the First Time in Responding to the US 337 Investigation, Fully Winning the Case
On March 19,2018,the United States International Trade Commission(ITC)issued an announcement,deciding to terminate the antitrust investigation of the carbon steel and alloy steel 337 case.ITC ruled that the plaintiff had to prove that it had suffered damage due to the defendant's monopolistic behavior,and because the plaintiff could not prove it,it was not eligible for litigation.So far,after two years,China has won all three lawsuits in the Steel 337 case,namely,antitrust,theft of trade secrets,and fictitious origin.The rarity of legal charges,the high amount of money involved,the wide range of products,and the number of accused steel companies in this investigation are unprecedented in the 337 US investigation cases encountered in China.This case will have a significant impact as a 337 precedent.In the future,the United States will face great difficulties if it wants to file antitrust charges under the 337 procedure.In the current situation where the United States is trying to jointly block Chinese steel through a 232 investigation with other countries,this time,Chinese enterprises have won a comprehensive victory in the domestic legal proceedings in the United States,which is heartening.
