Regarding the automotive industry, the Ministry of Commerce urges the British side to think twice before taking action

Beijing, October 19 (Xinhua) -- A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated on the 19th that China will closely monitor the UK's actions in response to the dominance of China's automotive industry. If the UK insists on taking restrictive measures against Chinese electric vehicles, China will resolutely counteract and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of China's industry.

The spokesperson said that the advantages of cooperation between China and the UK in the automotive industry are complementary, equal and mutually beneficial. China and the UK are important economic and trade partners to each other. China urges the UK to abide by WTO rules and think twice before acting, and not to dance with Europe.
