The US measures are said to disrupt global supply chains and create obstacles for trade. The investigations are expected to conclude within six months, with a possible extension of up to three months.
The Ministry of Commerce states that the United States widely applies practices blocking Chinese goods from entering the American market. According to Chinese authorities, such actions violate World Trade Organization rules and cause significant harm to the legitimate interests of Chinese enterprises.
China aims to safeguard its economic rights while restoring fairer conditions for international trade. These investigations could affect future trade relations between the world's two largest economies.
China’s move signals escalating trade tensions and a determination to defend its interests on the global stage. The outcomes of the probes and their impact on global trade will be closely watched in the coming months.
