Following the investigations into electric vehicles (EVs), trains, and solar panels, the European Union (EU) has launched a probe into China’s wind turbines. The EU’s antitrust commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, said a systemic approach is needed to prevent a repeat of past mistakes.

On April 9, the European Commission announced an investigation into Chinese wind turbine suppliers to determine if the Chinese regime’s subsidies provided them with an unfair advantage in the EU market.
