China's ambassador to the European Union is calling the EU's investigation into Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers over state subsidies "unfair." In an interview with Bloomberg News, Fu Cong expressed his discontent with the probe.
Reuters reported that Fu assured that China is cooperating with the EU's investigation to prevent a situation where both sides would resort to trade measures against one another. By engaging with the probe, China aims to avoid any escalation of tensions, according to Yahoo.
Comparative Analysis of Subsidies
The Chinese ambassador pointed out that the EU also subsidizes its own companies. Fu argued that if China were to adopt the same approach, numerous aspects of EU policies could fall under investigation.
Last year, the European Commission initiated an investigation to consider imposing punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports. The objective was to safeguard European Union producers, who claimed to be adversely affected by cheaper Chinese electric vehicles benefiting from state subsidies.
As part of the ongoing investigation, European Commission investigators are planning to inspect Chinese automakers in the coming weeks. BYD, Geely, and SAIC are among the companies to be visited by the investigators.
Growing Tensions
Tensions between China and the EU have been escalating due to Beijing's closer ties with Moscow following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This evolving alliance has led the EU to reduce its reliance on China, particularly for materials and products required for its green transition.
Amidst these tensions, it is crucial for both China and the EU to maintain a fair and balanced trade relationship. The ongoing probe highlights the importance of addressing concerns related to state subsidies and establishing a level playing field for all parties involved.
As the investigation progresses, it is essential for China and the EU to prioritize cooperation. By finding common ground and resolving trade disputes amicably, both sides can work towards fostering a mutually beneficial trade environment.
