China accuses U.S. of 'unfair methods' in steel dumping probe

The United States has employed "unfair methods" during an anti-dumping investigation into Chinese cold-rolled steel products and should rectify its mistakes as soon as possible, China's commerce ministry said on Wednesday. The United States on Tuesday said it would impose duties of more than 500 percent on Chinese cold-rolled flat steel, which is widely used for cars body panels, appliances and construction. China expressed "strong dissatisfaction" with the ruling, the Ministry of Commerce said.
