Ministry of Commerce: Reject and firmly oppose the EU's ban on providing financial support for projects using Chinese inverters.

　    On the 7th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce stated that without any actual evidence, the EU for the first time designated China as a so - called "high - risk country" and, on this basis, prohibited providing financial support for projects using Chinese inverters. This is a stigmatizing act against China and constitutes unfair and discriminatory treatment of Chinese products. China firmly rejects and opposes it.

　　A reporter asked: According to media reports, some EU officials said that the EU will prohibit providing financial support for projects using inverters from "high - risk countries" such as China. What's China's comment on this?

　　The spokesperson said that the EU's designation of China as a "high - risk country" will affect China - EU mutual trust, undermine bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and is not conducive to the stability of the China - EU and even the global industrial and supply chains. It may even bring the risk of "decoupling and disconnection". The EU's forced measures to exclude Chinese products go against market rules and the principle of fairness. It not only harms the interests of Chinese enterprises but will also backfire on itself, affecting the EU's green transition and energy security.

　　The spokesperson said that China urges the EU to immediately stop the stigmatizing act of designating China as a "high - risk country" and cancel the unfair and discriminatory practices against Chinese products. China will closely monitor and seriously evaluate the impact of the EU's policies on the interests of Chinese enterprises and the China - EU industrial and supply chains, and will take measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
