on september 18, foreign ministry spokesperson lin jian hosted a regular press conference. a bloomberg reporter asked, chinese officials and eu officials will hold talks in brussels on the eu's tariffs on chinese electric vehicles. what message does china hope to convey and what goals does it want to achieve through this meeting? in addition, the economic departments of china and the united states will hold talks in beijing on industrial capacity and export tariffs. what message does china hope to convey?
lin jian responded that you should ask the relevant chinese authorities for specific questions. but as a principle, i would like to emphasize that this investigation is a typical protectionist and politically driven behavior, ignoring objective facts, disregarding wto rules, going against the trend of history, and undermining the eu's green transformation process and global efforts to combat climate change.
lin jian said that china has always been committed to resolving issues through dialogue and consultation with the utmost sincerity, and has proposed flexible solutions. however, the eu has claimed that it is willing to resolve differences through dialogue, but has continuously rejected china's proposals and has never given any specific countermeasures. he hoped that the eu would truly show sincerity and take action and seriously consider the reasonable concerns and suggestions of the chinese industry. if the european commission insists on its own way, china will take necessary measures to resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of chinese companies and industries.
lin jian said that regarding the dialogue between the relevant economic departments of china and the united states that you mentioned, it is recommended to inquire with the relevant chinese authorities.
