摘要
China was cited in 60 investigations by foreign trade partners in the first half of the year, a sign of rising global protectionism, according to a commercial official. The investigations, initiated by 15 countries, involved trade worth US$8.267 billion and were “unprecedented both in terms of the number of cases and the value,” Liu Danyang, vice director with the Bureau of Fair Trade for Imports and Exports under the Ministry of Commerce, said at a seminar that opened on June 14.
