"China will...take all necessary measures to firmly protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies," Beijing's commerce ministry said. This reflects China's strong opposition to the EU's tariffs.
EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis said, "by adopting these proportionate and targeted measures after a rigorous investigation, we're standing up for fair market practices..." highlighting the EU's stance on market fairness.
Germany's main auto industry association warned the tariffs heightened the risk of "a far-reaching trade conflict," indicating concerns from within the EU about escalating tensions with China.
A Chinese trade group slammed the "politically motivated" decision even as it urged dialogue, showcasing China's disapproval yet willingness to engage in discussions.
