[Ministry of Commerce: China-EU consultations at all levels cannot unilaterally raise prices or negotiate conditions] On September 3rd, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference on the 3rd. In response to the remarks of European Commission Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Sefcovic related to China-EU trade, spokesperson Huang Ling emphasized that China-EU consultations at all levels should adhere to the stable and balanced positioning of China-EU key trading partnerships, insist on equal treatment of each other's concerns, and cannot unilaterally raise prices, negotiate conditions, or even threaten to close the market at every turn. Huang Ling emphasized that China has reiterated many times that the EU should face up to the economic and trade problems it faces. China is not the source of these problems, but can become a partner that helps the EU solve problems. There is no way out for protectionism, and win-win cooperation is the right path. China is willing to work with the EU to strengthen regular and institutionalized communication in the economic and trade field, manage differences, promote pragmatic cooperation, and promote the upward balance and forward development of China-EU trade. We hope that the EU will adhere to free trade, jointly safeguard the multilateral trading system based on rules with the WTO at its core, and avoid slipping into the abyss of protectionism.
