China has strongly criticized a new European Union bill aimed at strengthening the bloc's industrial base, warning that it may take countermeasures if the interests of Chinese companies are affected. According to China's Ministry of Commerce, the draft, known as the "Industrial Accelerator Act" (IAA), contains barriers to foreign investment and discriminatory elements, particularly in strategic sectors such as batteries, electric vehicles, photovoltaic panels, and rare minerals. Authorities in Beijing stated that on April 24, they submitted their concerns and recommendations to Brussels, warning of a response if these are not taken into account. On the other hand, the European Union aims through this law to strengthen its position in key industries, protect and create jobs, and impose "Made in Europe" requirements for public procurement. China, as one of the main competitors of European industry, is expected to be affected by stricter rules on foreign direct investment, which require approval for large deals and aim to protect European companies from acquisitions by investors outside the EU. The Chinese ministry highlighted three main concerns: the potential violation of international agreements, discrimination against Chinese investors, and harm to fair competition. Additionally, Beijing warned that such measures could slow down the EU's green transition. Finally, China called on the European Union to remove from the draft bill the requirements for local content, restrictions on foreign investors, and obligations for the transfer of intellectual property.
