China Accuses EU of Discrimination After Launch of Wind Turbine Probe

The EU’s recently announced investigation on Chinese wind turbine suppliers is “discriminatory” toward Chinese companies, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said this week (see 2404090038). Speaking during a regular press conference on April 10, a ministry spokesperson said the EU should make sure its probe abides by World Trade Organization rules. “China’s new energy sectors’ development is a result of our strong technology, robust market and full-fledged industrial chains,” the spokesperson said. “China will firmly protect the lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies.”
