This paper conducts a regression analysis to search for the determinants of antidumping filings received by different countries each year. It aims to evaluate the validity of current anti-dumping law’s claim to fight against unfair trade practice. We discover eight significant features of anti-dumping target countries that can explain and predict the dependent variables quite accurately. And the causal effects of these features suggest that antidumping practice, in reality, simply becomes a force against foreign competitiveness in production and economic development. The correspondence between anti-dumping risk and economic performance of the target country creates a trade system that encourages protectionism and discourages progress. We thus believe a reform of the law with balance of power mechanism is necessary to promote long term growth to the international society. The paper also analyzes factors that make China the top target of anti-dumping with our regression result
