BEIJING: Beijing has accused the European Union of “protectionist” behaviour after Brussels imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese steel products, as it seeks to protect struggling steel makers in Europe.

The EU Commission said Friday it would impose taxes of between 30.7% and 64.9% on certain Chinese steel products which it says are being sold at a loss in Europe.
