In a move to keep the trade vibes smooth between China and the European Union (EU), Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian urged the EU on Tuesday to drop its anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) 🚗⚡️.
Speaking at a regular press briefing, Lin emphasized that the EU's probe is essentially trade protectionism in disguise. \"We've said it before, and we'll say it again: this investigation is just not cool,\" Lin remarked. \"The so-called subsidies they're talking about? Totally baseless.\"
Lin pointed out that the EU's actions could harm economic and trade cooperation, as well as mess up the stability of global industrial and supply chains. \"Let's keep things chill and not rock the boat,\" he added.
If the EU insists on going its own way, Lin warned that China will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. \"We hope the EU can see the bigger picture and avoid unnecessary drama,\" he said.
This appeal highlights the importance of cooperation in an interconnected world 🌍. As young professionals and students watching international trends, it's key to stay updated on how such moves can impact global markets and innovation.
