China's Foreign Ministry responds to EU's investigation into its wind and solar industries

In response to the EU's announcement of an anti-dumping investigation into Chinese renewable energy equipment, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that::There are concerns outside the EU about the rise in protectionism. China expresses grave concerns about the EU's discriminatory measures against Chinese companies and even industries. China's development of new energy-related industries demonstrates its advantages in technology, market, and industry chain. The export of relevant products has made significant contributions to the global response to inflation and climate change. It is hoped that the EU will not harm the efforts to address climate change while advocating for it. Protectionism cannot solve its own problems. Protectionism protects backwardness, loses the future, and results in a lose-lose situation. We urge the EU to comply with WTO rules and market principles. China will firmly safeguard the legal rights and interests of Chinese companies.
