“The responsibility lies entirely with the EU side,” a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said today that the European Union continues to escalate trade frictions, which “could spark a trade war”.
“The responsibility lies entirely with the EU,” a ministry spokesman said in a statement.
China hopes the EU will meet it halfway, manage differences through dialogue and avoid escalating trade frictions or allowing them to spiral out of control, the spokesman said.
Last week, the European Commission proposed tariffs of up to 38.1% on electric vehicle imports from China, despite protests from Beijing, plunging trade relations to a new low and risking punitive action from the world’s second-largest economy .
The Commerce Ministry’s statement was released about an hour before German Finance Minister Robert Habeck arrived in Beijing, where he is expected to explain to Chinese officials the recent announcement of tariffs while mitigating the risk of retaliation from China that would hurt German businesses.
