BEIJING -- China's Ministry of Commerce began questioning six Japanese and Taiwanese machine tool makers on Friday as part of an investigation into allegations of dumping, a probe that stands to benefit mainland competitors bruised by the U.S. trade war.
The ministry selected the top three companies by export volume from both Japan and Taiwan for sampling. Fanuc, Brother Industries and Makino Milling Machine from Japan as well as Yeong Chin Machinery Industries, She Hong Industrial and Hurco Manufacturing from Taiwan were named in an official release Tuesday.
