China called on the European Union to prudently handle the ongoing trade dispute over the nation’s exports of solar products, warning that an unfavorable ruling may incur counter measures from China, a senior commerce official said on Monday.
“If the EU insists on imposing duty orders on Chinese exports and severely hurts the interests of Chinese manufacturers, the Chinese government will not stand by. We have no choice but take any measure to protect the lawful rights of Chinese businesses,” said Chong Quan, deputy international trade representative with the Ministry of Commerce.
“Once again, we call on the EU to seriously consider China’s suggestions as well as the appeal from enterprises from the EU’s upstream and downstream solar industry to cautiously use trade remedy measures. We hope the dispute can be resolved through negotiations,” Chong said.
