A Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said the country firmly opposes protectionist measures that harm its legitimate rights and interests, and will closely monitor the development of the investigations.
Mexico has opened 11 anti-dumping investigations into Chinese products till now this year—nearly twice of last year's total, a Chinese state-controlled media outlet reported.
The spokesperson said that against the backdrop of excessive use of tariffs by the United States, China holds that all countries should work together to oppose unilateralism, curb the spread of protectionism and refrain from imposing restrictions on China under various pretexts due to external coercion.
In response to Mexico's proposed tariff increases and other restrictions, the ministry has launched an investigation into trade and investment barriers in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
