[Ministry of Commerce: If the EU adopts discriminatory restrictive measures against Chinese products China will take all necessary measures] October 29th: In response to media reports that the EU is studying the extension of the trade understanding arrangement reached between China and the EU in the field of hybrid vehicles to the chemical industry and other fields, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Huang Ling said at a regular press conference on the 29th that artificial restrictions on normal trade are suspected of violating WTO rules. Huang Ling said that the recent second regular meeting of the China-EU Trade and Investment Consultation Mechanism has achieved positive progress and reached consensus on a number of outcomes, which shows that both sides not only have the will, but also the ability and wisdom to properly resolve economic and trade differences through dialogue and negotiation. China has repeatedly emphasized that China is not the source of the problems faced by the EU, but a partner in solving them. China is willing to strengthen dialogue and consultation with the EU, continue to discuss and resolve each other's economic and trade concerns, and promote the upward balance and forward development of China-EU trade. However, China firmly opposes any protectionist behavior that abuses trade defense tools. If the EU insists on going its own way and adopts discriminatory restrictive measures against Chinese products, China will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard its own interests and the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises.
