China has condemned the European Commission's anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Goldwind Science & Technology as discriminatory. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce stated the probe, initiated under the EU's foreign subsidies regulation, lacks sufficient evidence and procedural transparency, accusing the EU of protectionism. The EU is investigating whether Chinese government subsidies unfairly benefit Goldwind in the European market. China argues its renewable energy companies are competitive due to innovation, and that the EU's actions undermine cooperation and damage Chinese companies' confidence in the EU market, hindering the bloc's green energy transition. China urged the EU to exercise caution with the regulation and warned it would take measures to protect its companies' interests.
