Abstract

This article examines dumping and subsidies and other unfair trade practices in Peru's commercial relations with China. It discusses how this negatively affects, particularly the textile and apparel sector in Peru’s economy. The influx of Chinese products at substantially reduced prices has affected many firms in this sector obligating many of them to exit the market after posting significant losses. Since the creation of the regulatory agency Indecopi, China has been the country most cited for cases of dumping and other trade violations.
