BEIJING: China's foreign ministry on Thursday accused the European Union of using trade data selectively to justify claims of imbalances, after the bloc said it was looking to broaden import quotas and tariffs on Chinese goods to protect vulnerable industries.
Beijing was responding after European Union industry chief Stephane Sejourne told the Financial Times that Brussels wouldlook at toughening measures to shield certain industrial sectors from what the bloc sees as an "existential" threat from Chinese imports.
