China Responds to U.S. 301 Investigation on Capacity Overhang
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce responded to the U.S. initiation of a 301 investigation against 16 economies, including China, on the grounds of 'capacity overhang.' The ministry stated that the 301 investigation is a unilateral action that violates World Trade Organization (WTO) rules and disrupts the international economic and trade order. China emphasized that global supply and demand should be matched within a global perspective and opposed the U.S. narrow definition of 'capacity overhang' and the imposition of unilateral restrictive measures. Additionally, China is evaluating another 301 investigation initiated by the U.S. against 60 economies for 'not prohibiting the import of products made with forced labor,' and urged the U.S. to correct its erroneous practices. China called for resolving issues through dialogue and consultation, will closely monitor the situation, and reserves the right to take all necessary measures to firmly protect its legitimate rights and interests.
