CHINESE firms have applied for an anti-dumping investigation into EU pork imports, according to Beijing's Global Times, after Europe's decision to impose anti-subsidy duties on chinese electric vehicles (EVs), reports Reuters.
The move risks escalating tensions in one of the world's key trading relationships after the EU slapped tariffs of up to 38.1 per cent on Chinese EVs to shield its auto industry from competition.
China imported US$6 billion worth of pork in 2023, including offal, with the EU accounting for more than half, customs data showed.
Reuters, quoting The Global Times report, gave no details of the anti-dumping probe, and it was unclear which pork products would be targeted.
