Chinese wind-turbine manufacturer Goldwind Science & Technology has been hit by an in-depth investigation in the European Union amid concerns that Beijing’s state backing may give it an unfair advantage over European rivals.

The European Commission said on Feb. 2 that its preliminary investigation found indications that Goldwind may have received subsidies from Beijing. Such state aid could come in the form of grants, preferential tax and loan measures, officials said.
