BEIJING, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) — China on Wednesday called on the European Union to strictly adhere to its commitments to market opening and fair competition principles and stop abusing unilateral trade and economic instruments.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian made this statement at a regular press conference, commenting on the EU's readiness to conduct an investigation into a Chinese clean energy company, in connection with the company's alleged receipt of state subsidies, which led to a distortion of competition in the EU market.
The EU has consistently abused unilateral trade and economic instruments, imposing discriminatory and restrictive measures against Chinese companies. Such actions send a protectionist signal, damage the EU's image, and affect Chinese companies' confidence in investing in Europe, Lin Jian stated.
"We call on the EU to strictly adhere to its commitments to market openness and the principles of fair competition, stop abusing unilateral trade and economic instruments, and provide a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory business environment for companies from all countries," the Chinese diplomat emphasized.
He further added that China is ready to resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. -0-
