Verona, Italy (Reuters) – China is puzzled by the European Union’s decision to open probes into some of the products it exports to the bloc, including electric cars, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said on Friday.
“We fail to understand how the EU commission carries the banner of sustainable and green development and then takes protectionist actions, thereby in effect generating more and more risks,” Wang said during a trade and business conference in the northern Italian city of Verona.
He cited the EU’s probes on Chinese electric cars, solar panels and wind turbines as examples.
“We must oppose unilateralism and protectionism and protect the global supply chain,” the minister added.
