A reporter asked: On July 28, Geneva time, the WTO published an expert group report on the WTO dispute between China and Turkey over restrictions on electric vehicles and other vehicles. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? A: We have noticed that the WTO has distributed an expert group report on China's case against Turkey on restrictions on electric vehicles and other vehicles. The expert group supported the Chinese side's claim and ruled that the Turkish authorities involved in the case violated WTO rules. The Chinese side welcomed the ruling. Since 2023, the Turkish authorities have successively adopted restrictions such as additional tariffs and import permits on vehicles such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles exported from China, violating multilateral trade rules such as binding tariffs, national treatment, and most-favoured-nation treatment, and seriously harming China's legitimate trade interests and Sino-Turkish economic and trade relations. The Chinese side urges the Turkish authorities to respect the ruling of the WTO expert group, take concrete action, and rectify the illegal measures as soon as possible. At the same time, I would like to point out that China firmly pursues a mutually beneficial and win-win opening-up strategy and firmly upholds the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core. On the basis of complying with multilateral trade rules, China is ready to continuously improve the quality and level of trade and investment cooperation in fields such as new energy vehicles and achieve common development with all parties.
