EU bans funding support for projects using Chinese inverters, Ministry of Commerce responds.

On May 7, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the EU's ban on funding support for projects using Chinese inverters. It mentioned that China has taken note of the relevant reports. The EU, without any actual evidence, for the first time designated China as a so-called "high-risk country" and used this as a reason to ban funding support for projects using Chinese inverters. This behavior stigmatizes China and constitutes unfair and discriminatory treatment of Chinese products. China refuses to accept and strongly opposes this. The EU's designation of China as a "high-risk country" will affect mutual trust between China and the EU, disrupt bilateral economic and trade cooperation, be detrimental to the stability of the global supply chain, and even pose a risk of "decoupling and chain breaking". The EU's forced measures to exclude Chinese products violate market rules and principles of fairness, harming not only Chinese businesses but also themselves, affecting the EU's green transformation and energy security. China urges the EU to immediately stop stigmatizing China as a "high-risk country" and to cancel unfair and discriminatory practices against Chinese products. China will closely monitor and carefully assess the impact of the EU's policies on the interests of Chinese companies and the China-EU supply chain, and will take measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
