China was the target of the most antidumping investigations in the 16 years to 2010. The country was also the target of the most antisubsidy cases, the Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.

From 2008 to the first half of 2011 trade partners launched 313 trade remedy cases against China, of which 11 percent were in the textile sector. China's exports accounts for a third of the global trade volume of textile and apparel.

"China's trade frictions with emerging nations such as India, Brazil and Peru will rise in the future, while those with the United States, Europe and Japan will fizzle out," the financial news website Caijing.com quoted Gao Yong, deputy director of the China Textile Industry Association, as saying.

"Cases concerning antidumping and anti subsidy will be replaced by those related to technical standards and technical barriers."
