China will revisit its trade policies on Indian optical fibers in 2025, sparking fresh discussions about global tech supply chains. The Ministry of Commerce announced Wednesday it will launch an expiry review of anti-dumping measures on August 14, 2025 – a move requested by China's domestic fiber industry to assess potential market impacts.
Why This Matters
🔹 Current tariffs (7.4%-30.6%) have been in place since 2014 🔹 Review determines if ending duties would reignite price wars 🔹 Optical fibers are crucial for 5G networks and broadband expansion
