Question: According to recent media reports, the UK government is considering imposing additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. What is your comment?

Spokesperson: China is firmly opposed to any discriminatory practice involving tariff hikes or restrictive measures on Chinese products. We have expressed serious concern to the UK side regarding the reports in question.

Trade protectionism runs counter to WTO rules and market principles. It will only disrupt the normal order of trade and harm the interests of consumers.

We will continue to follow developments and respond accordingly.
