WASHINGTON, April 22 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Commerce Department said on Thursday that it has set preliminary antidumping duties ( AD) on imports of certain seamless pipe from China, a move that might escalate trade disputes between the two countries.The department said it "preliminarily determined that Chinese producers/exporters have sold seamless pipe in the United States at 32.39 to 98.37 percent less than fair value."As a result of this preliminary determination, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect a cash deposit or bond based on these preliminary rates.The products covered by this investigation are suitable for the conveyance of water, steam, petrochemicals, oil products, natural gas, and other liquids and gasses in industrial piping systems.Imports of certain seamless pipe from China were valued at an estimated 182.3 million U.S. dollars in 2009, according to the U.S. Commerce Department.Commerce said that it is currently scheduled to make its final determination in September 2010.If Commerce makes an affirmative final determination, and the U. S. International Trade Commission makes an affirmative final determination that imports of certain seamless pipe salts from China materially injures, or threaten material injury to, the domestic industry, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order.The new case followed the Commerce Department's initiation of antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CVD) duty investigation on Chinese aluminum extrusions on Wednesday.The protectionist moves by the Obama administration will ultimately hurt the U.S.-China trade relations, which are becoming more and more important due to the global financial crisis, economists warned.The onset of the global recession appears to have set off an increase in trade disputes around the world.Globally, new requests for protection from imports in the first half of 2009 are up 18.5 percent over the first half of 2008, according to the World Bank-sponsored Global Anti-dumping Database organized by Chad P. Bown, a Brandeis University economics professor.That increase follows a 44 percent increase in new investigations in 2008. And China has become the main target of the rising protectionism.

BEIJING ,May 6 -- China Mobile on Wednesday launched an online platform that enables its subscribers to read and download digital publications through cell phones and e-book readers, as part of its effort to profit from the country's emerging mobile reading market.The world's biggest cellphone carrier in terms of subscribers kicked off an e-book store similar to Apple's iBook store, which gives users wireless access to a series of online publications such as e-books, comics and magazines."Reading habits have fundamentally changed," said Gao Nianshu, general manager of China Mobile's data department. He said the company hopes the new platform will attract over 200 million users in the near future. Primary school students in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, read e-books. China Mobile hopes its newly launched platform will attract over 200 million users in the near future.According to figures from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, cellphone users in the country reached 780 million at the end of March. Of that group, mobile readers surpassed 155 million, the ministry said.Interest in e-book readers made by firms such as Hanwang Technology, Amazon and Founder since last year also significantly boosted demand for mobile reading.Gao said China Mobile's new e-book platform, which currently covers about 40 percent of the best selling books in the country, has attracted over 15 million users during four months of testing in eight areas.He said the company's online e-book store will also support the iPad, the tablet computer launched by Apple Inc last month."Mobile reading has become a popular service with mobile Internet users in China," said Zhang Yanan, analyst from research firm Analysys International, in a research note.But he said that although about 45 percent of Chinese mobile Internet users read books at least once a day by mobile phone, few of them are willing to pay for online content.According to China Mobile, the subscription fee for its online e-book store is up to five yuan per month, 40 percent of which will be shared with copyright owners.Zhong Tianhua, head of China Mobile's subsidiary in Zhejiang province, who oversees the company's online e-book store business, said the company's strategy is to attract as many users as possible in the first three years with the lowest pricing possible.Companies including Nokia, Motorola, Hanwang, Founder, Datang and Huawei Technologies have released products that support China Mobile's new service. But many e-book makers have also established their own online e-book stores, putting them in competition with China Mobile.It was reported earlier this week that China Mobile plans to team up with Foxconn Electronics of Taiwan province to produce its own e-book readers.
