BEIJING, May 29 (Xinhua) — China is deeply concerned about the European Union’s anti-dumping probe into imported passenger car and light truck tires from China, the Ministry of Commerce said Thursday.
Answering a question on the topic at a regular press briefing, the agency’s spokesperson He Yongqian stressed that protectionist practices only lead to an increase in the consumer burden, the formation of trade barriers to the detriment of stability and the smooth functioning of value and supply chains, which is not in the interests of both parties.
China, He Yongqian noted, has consistently advocated the reasonable and prudent use of trade defense measures and calls on the EU not to resort to reckless trade restrictions, but to resolve mutual concerns through dialogue and consultation.
According to her, the Chinese side will closely monitor the EU’s further actions and will resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
The official representative of the Ministry of Commerce noted that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU, and the agenda of bilateral relations includes many important issues.
“We will maintain dialogue and communication with the EU to properly handle economic and trade differences, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, promote the development of China-EU economic and trade relations on a positive trajectory, and inject more certainty and positive energy into bilateral relations and the world economy,” He Yongqian said. -0-
