Ministry of Commerce responds to European Union foreign subsidy investigation: China will resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises

On April 11, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference. Reuters reporter asked: The European Union will investigate the situation of subsidies received by Chinese wind turbine suppliers shipped to Europe. What is the response of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce to this? He Yadong, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, said that China is strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to this. China will pay close attention to the follow-up moves of the European side, reserve the right to take necessary measures, and resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. Chinese wind power and other new energy enterprises have achieved rapid development by relying on continuous technological innovation, a perfect production and supply chain system and sufficient market competition. They have won a competitive advantage and are in a leading position in the world. This cannot be made up by any subsidy. The European Union cannot hold high the banner of responding to the climate change and keep advocating green cooperation, but wield the stick of trade protectionism with the other hand, impose restrictions on normal international green trade and investment, and pursue double standards in responding to the climate change.
