Beijing, (TDI): China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has voiced disappointment over the European Commission’s (EC) rejection of price offers from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) producers, accusing the EC of lacking sincerity in resolving the dispute through dialogue.
The ministry stressed China’s commitment to protecting the rights and interests of its firms.
A MOFCOM spokesperson criticized the EC for dismissing Chinese industry’s flexible solutions without further communication, noting that the decision undermines confidence in continued cooperation.
“If the talks fail to reach consensus, the responsibility lies entirely with the European side,” the spokesperson added.
