China will... take all necessary measures to firmly protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies,
China always upholds an open and cooperating attitude, adheres to the market's leading role and full competition, and carries out cooperation with relevant countries in the EV industry through means including trade, investment and technology cooperation to jointly maintain the stability of industrial and supply chains of the global automotive sector,
Under such circumstances, European consumers may suffer, facing either increased costs for Chinese EVs or limited options from alternative suppliers,
By conducting separate negotiations with individual firms, the EU is seeking to take the companies down one by one,
It is hoped that the EU side will jointly advance the talks in a constructive manner and under 'pragmatic and balanced' principles, address each other's core concerns, and reach a mutually acceptable solution as soon as possible, so as to avoid escalating trade frictions,
As the defense party in this investigation, the CCCME will continue to lead companies to do well in the price commitment negotiations, and we will effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese EV industry and companies through various legal means,
We can engage the EU side under the WTO mechanism, and if the WTO finds the EU in violation, the EU will be compelled to rectify its wrong practices,
The EU has agreed to conduct consultations based on the direction of price commitment offers made by China, but some of the EU's demands are unacceptable,
The industry is not naive in dealing with China, but the challenges must be resolved in dialogue,
China does not agree with it and will not accept the ruling,
We also noticed that the EU side indicated it would continue to negotiate with China on price commitments,
These tariffs on Chinese, European and US EV producers based in China neither strengthen the EU's EV manufacturing resilience, nor foster innovation or job creation. We deeply regret and are dissatisfied with what we view as a politically driven approach,
We believe that a unified negotiation through the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME) would support fair competition and sector consistency,
We (the CCCEU) sincerely call for a halt to the tariff measures, emphasizing the urgent need for mutual trust and cooperation,
We have noticed the statement issued by the EU side. China has repeatedly pointed out there are many practices in the investigation that are simply unjustifiable and incompliant with the rules. The nature of the investigation is unfair trade protectionism disguised as so-called 'fair competition'
The transition to electric mobility is a cornerstone of climate protection, and we need to support and advance that transition,
The door for negotiations remains open. This is the only positive news today,
Imposing these tariffs would only undermine the economic interests of both importers and exporters and threaten global climate change progress,
We welcome competition, including in the electric vehicle sector, but it must be underpinned by fairness and a level playing field,
China is one of the countries most compliant with environmental regulations. In this regard, it stands as an example for other countries to follow,
