Overview
- The European Commission has opened an in-depth probe into Chinese turbine maker Goldwind after a preliminary review flagged potentially market-distorting support.
- Foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said the move uses unilateral trade tools and sends protectionist signals toward Chinese firms.
- Beijing warned the case could undermine Chinese companies’ confidence to invest in Europe.
- EU officials said the investigation does not prejudge the outcome and could lead to company remedies or redressive measures if concerns are confirmed.
- Goldwind is a top global wind supplier expanding abroad as China’s vast, subsidy-fueled domestic market has grown rapidly.
