This afternoon (28th), the Ministry of Commerce held a press conference. In response to China's lawsuit against the WTO to prevent electric vehicle manufacturers from purchasing battery materials from China, Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yadong said that the US side introduced the “Inflation Reduction Law” and its implementing rules under the name of dealing with climate change and a low-carbon environment, formulating and introducing discriminatory subsidy policies using products from specific regions such as the US as a subsidy premise. This distorts fair competition, seriously disrupts the global NEV industry chain and supply chain, and violates relevant WTO rules. The Chinese lawsuit is not only about safeguarding the interests of Chinese NEV companies and the fair competition environment for the global NEV industry The move is also aimed at firmly defending the rules-based multilateral trading system and resolutely maintaining the stability of the NEV global industrial chain and supply chain.
