[global times-global network reporter ni hao] there is still more than a month before the european commission makes a final ruling on its anti-subsidy investigation into chinese electric vehicles. after more than a dozen rounds of consultations, on september 12, the european commission intends to reject china's price commitment solution. the complexity of the case has escalated again, making it increasingly challenging for china and the eu to reach an agreement.

the latest news shows that minister of commerce wang wentao will go to europe on september 19 to hold consultations with the eu again. the industry believes that in addition to seeking a solution acceptable to both sides through dialogue and consultation, it is also a principle that china has never wavered in taking all necessary measures to firmly defend the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies, depending on the follow-up progress of the eu investigation.

experts interviewed by the global times believe that china has always been committed to properly handling trade disputes with the eu through dialogue and consultation with the utmost sincerity, safeguarding the vital interests of chinese companies and the overall economic and trade cooperation between china and the eu. looking at the development history of world trade remedies over more than half a century, although the trade frictions between china and the eu surrounding electric vehicles have attracted great attention at home and abroad, they are both special and universal as trade remedy cases. experts believe that it is necessary to see that this case is a trade game between china and the eu surrounding emerging strategic industries, but it is also one of the hundreds of trade remedy cases in the world every year.

experts suggest that in the face of the european commission's insistence on implementing trade protectionism on chinese electric vehicles, we must realize that this is a test encountered in the development of china's electric vehicles. taking all necessary measures under wto rules and firmly safeguarding domestic industrial interests will be the basic position that china has always adhered to. however, the gains and losses of "one city and one pool" are not the overall situation. independent innovation to occupy industrial high ground and seek greater development space are the "sea of ​​stars" for china's electric vehicle industry.
