Abstract

The trade conflict between the United States and China has become one of the important dynamics in the international trade system, especially related to the implementation of anti-subsidy policies by the United States against products from China. The United States violates the provisions made by the WTO against Chinese products in which America violates one of the principles of international trade, namely Most Favored Nation (MFN), regulated in the General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade (GATT) 1994. The MFN principle demands that any trade benefits or facilities granted to one WTO member country must be applied equally to all other members, without discrimination. Problem formulation: 1. How are the provisions of international trade according to the Most Favored Nation principle?, 2. How is the trade conflict between the United States and China regarding anti-subsidy products reviewed from the Most Favored Nation (MFN) principle? The research method used is normative juridical with the data sources used are secondary data with document study data collection techniques and data analyzed qualitatively. The study results indicate that: 1. International trade regulations adhere to the Most Favored Nation (MFN) principle, a fundamental principle of international trade. The MFN principle is a principle of non-discrimination, which states that there should be no discrimination between countries in international trade. This principle is stipulated in Article I of the GATT 1994, which requires all countries to comply with existing agreements. 2. The conflict between the United States and China constitutes a violation of the MFN principle by the United States. Furthermore, the United States is concerned about the dominance of Chinese which threatens local products.
