According to a message on the website of the Ministry of Commerce on the 15th, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce responded to questions from journalists regarding China's lawsuit against India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures at the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Question: It is reported that China has filed a lawsuit against India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures at the WTO. Could you please introduce the specific situation?
Answer: On October 15, China submitted a request for consultation to India at the WTO concerning India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures.
India's relevant measures are suspected of violating several obligations, including the principle of national treatment, and constitute import substitution subsidies explicitly prohibited by the WTO. These measures provide an unfair competitive advantage to India's domestic industries and have harmed China's interests. China will take resolute measures to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of its domestic industries.
China has noted that over a period of time, multiple trade and economic measures taken by India are suspected of being in violation of WTO rules, which have attracted widespread attention from WTO members. We urge India to abide by its commitments at the WTO and immediately correct its wrong practices.
