China's Ministry of Commerce has issued a new statement, saying an EU proposal to levy punitive duties on Chinese solar panels - if implemented will "severely impair" bilateral trade ties.
CRI's Wei Tong has more.
The comment came after the European Commission agreed to back a proposal to levy provisional duties ranging from 37 to 68 percent on Chinese solar panels.
The export of the Chinese solar products involving EU anti-dumping measures has amounted over 20 billion US dollars.
The Commerce Ministry spokesperson Shen Denyang has urged the EU to consider the bigger picture of bilateral ties and make greater efforts to handle the issue properly.
