Beijing expects the European Union to comply with the legitimate demands and interests of Chinese companies and for Brussels to refuse to politicize trade and economic issues, Mao Ning said. According to her, China is not satisfied with the new EU economic security plan.
The new European Commission emphasizes that the plan will further strengthen the set of tools that strengthen investment supervision and export control. According to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such practice violates the long-standing EU principles of fair competition and free trade in a market economy, as well as harms the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
Mao Ning expressed hope that the European Commission would pay attention to this issue and work to resolve reasonable concerns and comply with the legitimate requirements of Chinese companies. Beijing also expects the EU to provide a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese businesses to work and invest.
