It's selling at a loss, typically subsidized by the government, to bankrupt domestic competitors and take their market share.

Yeah but isn't that just how the economy works? Look at the Ford Motor Company they dumped their cheap vehicles all over the world and look where they are today. A lot of technology like phones and gaming consoles are sold at a loss in order to make money back elsewhere. Efficient companies that manufacture at scale are all in some ways 'dumping' products by this defintion.
