The Department of Commerce conducted a review and determined that if they revoke the countervailing duty order on melamine from China, it will likely result in the continuation or recurrence of subsidies. This review is part of a process that started in 2015 when the order was first imposed. The review found that a specific chemical, melamine, is at risk of receiving government subsidies again if the order is revoked. The results and this notice were published on February 25, 2021, with further details available in public documents.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. people checked if stopping a special rule on melamine from China, which helps make strong plastic, would let China get money help from their government again. They decided that if they get rid of the rule, China would probably start getting this help again.
