The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has responded to media inquiries regarding the European Commission's fine on AliExpress. In response to a question about the European Commission's announcement on July 20th imposing a €550 million fine on AliExpress under the EU's Digital Services Act, the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson stated that China has taken note of the situation and expresses strong dissatisfaction and serious concern.
The spokesperson emphasized that China firmly opposes the EU's use of platform regulation as a pretext to erect digital barriers and implement discriminatory measures that restrict and suppress the normal operations of Chinese e-commerce enterprises in Europe.
China urges the EU to cease exploiting the ambiguity of legal provisions to abuse discretionary power and instead treat Chinese companies fairly and justly.
China will resolutely support Chinese enterprises in using legal instruments to defend their rights and will take robust measures to firmly safeguard the interests of these companies.
