CHINA PRESS: The U.S. refusal to recognize China's market-economy status, as

part of a submission to the World Trade Organization in support of the Europe

Union's position in a Chinese complaint on EU anti-dumping actions, is "playing

dirty" and is actually trying to shock China's economic regime, the Economic

Information Daily, a newspaper under the official Xinhua News Agency, said in a

front-page commentary Thursday. On Dec. 11 last year, the rule that China must

prove its market economy status when defending itself against anti-dumping

accusations ended, the newspaper argued. But the U.S., Japan and the EU still

use the rule, using China's supposed "non-market economy status" as a weapon to

impede Chinese exports, the commentary said. China should not be disturbed by

these outside factors but should deepen its reform and make itself into a

"strong trade country" and climb to a higher rung on the global trade value

ladder, it said. At the same time, China must continue to defend the interests

of its domestic sectors and never allow such "playing dirty" tactics. (Economic
