Stock News04-14

A spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce has responded to inquiries regarding the UK government's decision not to support the use of wind turbine products from Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited. The spokesperson stated that the UK's exclusion of Chinese products from its wind power projects on the grounds of "national security" contradicts the UK's long-held principles of an "open and free" market. This move is detrimental to the economic development of local regions in the UK and the improvement of public welfare, and it will negatively impact practical bilateral economic and trade cooperation. China firmly opposes this decision.

The response was as follows: A journalist asked: Recently, the UK Minister for Energy published a statement on the parliamentary website indicating that the UK government does not support the use of Ming Yang Smart Energy's wind turbines in offshore wind projects in the UK. What is China's comment on this?

Answer: We have taken note of the relevant statement from the UK side. The UK's exclusion of Chinese products from its wind power projects on the grounds of "national security" contradicts the UK's long-held principles of an "open and free" market. This is detrimental to the economic development of local regions in the UK and the improvement of public welfare, and it will negatively impact practical bilateral economic and trade cooperation. China firmly opposes this.

During Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to China this January, he explicitly stated that the UK is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in various fields including trade, investment, finance, and environmental protection, to support each other's economic growth and bring benefits to the people of both countries. It is hoped that the UK government will provide a fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises, effectively advance practical cooperation in the economic and trade fields between China and the UK, and promote the healthy development of bilateral relations.
