Spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answers questions from reporters regarding China's lawsuit against India's tariffs on information and communication products and subsidies on photovoltaic products at the World Trade Organization.

Ministry of Commerce Spokesperson Answers Questions from Journalists on China's WTO Lawsuit against India's Information and Communication Product Tariff Measures and Photovoltaic Subsidies A media outlet asked: It has been reported that China has filed a lawsuit at the World Trade Organization against India's information and communication product tariff measures and photovoltaic subsidies. Can you provide more details? On December 19, China submitted a consultation request to India at the World Trade Organization regarding India's information and communication product tariff measures and photovoltaic subsidies. India's relevant measures are suspected of violating various obligations under the WTO, such as bound tariff rates and national treatment, and constitute import substitution subsidies prohibited by the WTO. These measures give India's domestic industries an unfair competitive advantage and harm China's interests. This is another firm move by China to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic industries, following the lawsuit against India's electric vehicle and battery subsidy measures. We once again urge India to abide by its WTO commitments and immediately correct its wrongful practices. This article is selected from the official website of the Ministry of Commerce.
