China Slams EU's 'Discriminatory' Probe into Goldwind Subsidies

• China accused the EU of 'discriminatory' action after Brussels launched an investigation into state subsidies for Chinese clean energy firm Goldwind.
• Goldwind, a major wind turbine supplier, is expanding globally, increasing competition with Western manufacturers.
• The European Commission's probe suggests Goldwind 'may have been granted foreign subsidies that distort the internal market' of the EU.
• China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the investigation protectionist and warned it could deter future Chinese investment in Europe.
• Spokesperson Lin Jian stated the EU's actions send 'protectionist signals' and would 'affect the confidence of Chinese companies in investing in Europe'.
