SINGAPORE, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Export-dependent members of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group such as China, Japan and Taiwan have voiced their concerns about a rising trend of anti-dumping measures, a senior Thai trade official said on Wednesday.

"The Chinese minister was saying that fewer countries now were talking about the Doha Round or the WTO mechanism to settle trade disputes, but they are resorting to anti-dumping measures," Deputy Thai Commerce Minister Alongkorn Ponlaboot told reporters in Singapore after a meeting of APEC trade and foreign ministers.
