Perhaps in some cases China is not dumping. But they are selling below their cost in a broad range of industries from farming to manufacturing. In many cases, China is not selling under the cost of production, their costs are so low they can make a profit. China is subsidizing most industries with loans from State owned banks which will certainly never be repaid, and many firms are essentially bankrupt. Selling your goods at a loss is a dubious strategy at best unless you can eliminate your global competitors then raise your prices sufficiently to turn a profit. .
