商务部：强烈反对欧委会密集对中国企业发起调查

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government strongly opposes the European Commission's recent investigations into Chinese companies under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), citing discrimination and negative impacts on Chinese enterprises operating in Europe [1][2]. Group 1: Investigations and Responses - The European Commission has initiated multiple FSR investigations against Chinese companies, including CRRC Group and Tongfang Weishi, which China views as a clear indication of bias [1]. - The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has identified the FSR investigations as trade and investment barriers, highlighting issues such as insufficient evidence, excessive enforcement, reversed burden of proof, and lack of transparency in the investigation process [1]. - The definition of "foreign subsidies" used in these investigations is criticized for being overly broad and vague, exceeding reasonable international norms, which adversely affects Chinese companies' operations in Europe and creates uncertainty in China-EU economic cooperation [1]. Group 2: Call for Fair Treatment - The Chinese government urges the European side to cease unreasonable pressure on foreign investment enterprises, including those from China, and to use the FSR investigation tool cautiously to foster a fair and predictable business environment [2]. - There is a noted increase in trade restrictions from the EU against China, with 12 trade remedy investigations and 3 foreign subsidy investigations initiated this year, along with barriers preventing Chinese companies from participating in public procurement and greenfield investments in EU member states [2]. - The Chinese government emphasizes the importance of adhering to the consensus reached during China-EU leadership meetings to jointly oppose protectionism and maintain an open market, advocating for a fair, transparent, non-discriminatory, and predictable business environment for Chinese enterprises in Europe [2].
