China urges EU to halt anti-subsidy probes

China has urged the European Union to immediately stop its unreasonable actions against Chinese companies operating within the bloc and to use the Foreign Subsidies Regulation investigation tool prudently, the Ministry of Commerce said.

Speaking at a news conference in Beijing, He Yadong, spokesman for the ministry, said China has noted that the European Commission, the EU's executive body, has recently launched a series of FSR investigations targeting Chinese businesses.

These measures include in-depth investigations into CRRC Corp and Nuctech, alongside on-site inspections of Chinese digital platforms. Such actions demonstrate selective targeting and discriminatory practices, He said.

China strongly opposes these moves. The country will closely monitor the EU's actions and will take necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, he added.
