A US-based television manufacturer and two labour unions have lodged a petition accusing Malaysian and Chinese TV-makers of anti-competitive dumping practices.

Beijing-based China Daily said the demands include duties ranging from 84 percent to be slapped o­n TV sets from China and 46 percent o­n sets from Malaysia.
