China on Friday initiated dispute settlement proceedings against the EU's provisional anti-subsidy measures against Chinese EVs at the WTO to safeguard the interests of its electric vehicle industry's development and global green transition cooperation.

The findings in the EU's preliminary ruling lack factual and legal basis, seriously violate WTO rules, and jeopardize the overall situation of global cooperation in addressing climate change. We urge the EU to immediately rectify its wrong practices and jointly safeguard China-EU economic and trade cooperation and the stability of the EV industry and supply chains.
