This study formulates a theoretical framework to analyze the crisis and resolution of  Chinese firm smarket status on the international market. Taking the defense of Chinese footwear enterprise in EU Antidumping as a case， this paper elaborates on the origin of the crisis of Chinese footwear firms market status， and presents the way to resolve it under double disadvantages of institution and status. The local EU footwear enterprises promoted the antidumping investigation in their Chinese counterparts and also affected the authority and implication of regulatory agency on the market system rules. Finally， the normative isomorphism mechanism of the market and the action of regulatory agency plunged Chinese footwear enterprises into status crisis. During the process of economic restructuring， most Chinese footwear enterprises bred cognitive lag， resulting in production and business practice incompatible with the international market economy， as well as recognizing and understanding deviations from the governance mechanisms on the international market. As a result， the vast majority of footwear enterprises involved had adopted negative coping strategies， finally having no choice but to accept the declining market status or even exit the EU market. On the contrary， Aokang had earlier reformed the production and organization management system， making full use of organizational， institutional and social network resources in the defense process to actively present its institutional legitimacy of economic practices to a higher level of market regulation agency， and eventually reshaped the cognitive and decision behavior of market regulation agency， being out of crisis and maintaining the status quo in the EU market. This case study shows that， in cross cultural trading context， overcoming cognitive lag to the new market structure and culture， and the institutionalization of production and organizational management， are prerequisites for Chinese enterprises to establish and maintain their status on international markets.
