EU Initiates Investigation into Chinese Wind Turbine Subsidies, Citing Economic Distortions

China strongly opposes the new EU probe, labeling it as protectionist and a threat to global green energy efforts.

The European Commission has launched an investigation into subsidies for Chinese wind turbine manufacturers, suspecting unfair competition in EU markets.
China accuses the EU of protectionism and distorting the definition of subsidies, potentially harming bilateral trade relations.
Beijing warns that the EU's actions could undermine global efforts to combat climate change and affect the green transformation process.
Chinese officials argue the investigations damage the trust of Chinese companies in European markets and could lead to retaliatory measures.
Analysts suggest China might redirect exports through third countries to circumvent EU regulations, maintaining trade flows.
