BEIJING: China took recourse to the dispute settlement mechanism of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on Friday (Aug 9) in response to the European Union's temporary anti-subsidy measures on Chinese-made batter electric vehicles, the Ministry of Commerce said.
The EU's preliminary ruling lacks factual and legal basis, violates WTO rules, and undermines global cooperation efforts in combating climate change, the ministry spokesperson said.
