MOFCOM BJT
Q: Following MOFCOM’s response on October 9 to the joint statement on “structural excess capacity” led by the U.S., has MOFCOM received any indications or information that certain economies plan to take restrictive measures against Chinese products? If so, what specific countermeasures is China prepared to take? (MOFCOM Regular Press Conference October 15, 2026)
A: On your question, China has stated its position on multiple occasions, opposing the politicization of economic and trade issues by certain countries and their pursuit of trade protectionism under the pretext of so-called “excess capacity”. If relevant economies use this as a pretext to take measures that harm China’s interests, China will make firm and necessary responses.
