China has sharply criticized the European Union’s investigation into wind turbine giant Goldwind, calling it a "discriminatory" step that risks derailing global green energy progress. The EU announced the probe this week, alleging the Chinese firm may have benefited from unfair subsidies. 🌬️
Goldwind—the world’s top wind turbine supplier since 2023—denied any wrongdoing, stating it prioritizes compliance in all markets. But Chinese officials aren’t holding back: Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian accused the EU of "protectionism," while MOFCOM warned the move could chill China-Europe cooperation and "slow the green transition."
This isn’t the first clash: MOFCOM ruled in January 2025 that EU practices created trade barriers under Chinese law. With renewable energy investments at stake, Beijing is urging Brussels to drop what it calls "targeted" tactics and ensure a level playing field. 💼⚖️
Analysts say the spat highlights growing tensions as China dominates clean tech sectors. Will this wind up cooling climate collaboration? Stay tuned. 🌐🔋
