The Chinese regime on Aug. 21 opened an anti-dumping investigation on dairy products imported from the European Union, the latest response to the EU’s tariff proposals and fueling trade tensions between Beijing and the 27-nation bloc.
The investigation into imported dairy products that include fresh and processed cheeses and certain milk and cream products from the EU starts on Aug. 21, China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement. The investigation is expected to conclude in a year but can be extended for another six months, the ministry added.
