Solar Trade War Fears Mount as EU Imposes Chinese Import Levy

摘要

The EU dashed hopes of an immediate cordial settlement with China in an ongoing solar trade dispute, when the European Commission confirmed last week it would impose provisional antidumping duties on imports of Chinese solar panels, cells and wafers from Jun. 6. Beijing responded almost immediately, saying the following day it "resolutely opposes" the European levies, and launching its own antidumping and antisubsidy probe against wine imported from the EU.
