On October 15, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce of China responded to a journalist's question regarding China's lawsuit against India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures at the World Trade Organization (WTO). A media outlet asked: It is understood 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?
Response: On October 15, China submitted a request for consultation to India at the WTO concerning India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures. The relevant measures by India are suspected to violate several obligations, including national treatment, and constitute import substitution subsidies explicitly prohibited by the WTO. These measures provide an unfair competitive advantage to domestic industries in India, harming China's interests. China will take resolute measures to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic industries.
China has noted that over a period of time, various economic and trade measures by India have been 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.
