On April 27, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao convened a meeting with President Müller of the German Association of the Automotive Industry to delve into the realm of China-Germany automotive industry cooperation and address the EU's anti-subsidy case against Chinese electric vehicles. Minister Wang emphasized the gravity of the current international scenario, where unilateralism and protectionism pose a threat to the international economic and trade order, as well as the stability of the global production and supply chain, with the automotive industry bearing the brunt of these challenges. As staunch advocates of multilateralism and free trade, China and the EU must collaborate closely. He expressed his hope that the German Association of the Automotive Industry would encourage Germany and Europe to uphold the multilateral trading system and maintain the stability of the global production and supply chain, while resolving the EU's anti-subsidy case against Chinese electric vehicles in a manner that respects international rules and regulations.
