Companies, industry associations and research institutes have until November 15 to submit written or electronic comments to the ministry’s WTO department.
China’s Commerce Ministry Seeks Public Input on EU Trade Policy Review
AI take
The consultation is a signal that Beijing intends to litigate EU industrial policy through the WTO's review process rather than only through bilateral channels. It matters most to exporters, industry associations and research bodies whose submissions effectively become the evidentiary record for China's case. Whether the ministry's framing hardens into a formal WTO challenge, and how the EU responds to that record, is the open question to watch.
