商务部批评据报道的法德推动欧盟开发类似美国“301条款”贸易工具以应对中国的做法，称其为“保护主义和单边主义”，并警告北京将“对任何针对中国企业或产品的歧视性措施坚决反制”。
The Ministry of Commerce has criticised a reported Franco-German push for the EU to develop a trade tool similar to the US’ Section 301 to counter China, calling it “protectionist and unilateralist” and warning that Beijing would “resolutely respond” to any discriminatory measures against Chinese companies or products.
商务部在周二发布的声明中表示：“欧盟过去曾是此类工具的受害者：己所不欲，勿施于人。”
“The EU has itself been a victim of such tools in the past: do not do unto others what you would not have done unto yourself,” it said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
据报道的这一推动时机，正值北京和布鲁塞尔准备本月进行第二轮贸易磋商，也引起了商务部的强烈不满。
The timing of the reported push, which comes as Beijing and Brussels prepare for a second round of trade talks this month, also drew the ministry’s ire.
声明称：“如果欧盟一方面同中国开展对话磋商，另一方面却升级对华示强，这将严重损害互信，干扰整体磋商进程，影响中欧经贸合作大局。”
“If the EU engages in dialogue and consultation with China on the one hand while ratcheting up a show of strength against China on the other, this will seriously damage mutual trust, disrupt the overall consultation process and affect the broader picture of China-EU economic and trade cooperation,” it said.
商务部敦促欧盟坚持对话，并表示中方将密切关注布鲁塞尔的下一步举动，誓言“如果欧盟推出针对中国企业或产品的‘歧视性’限制措施，将坚决反制，维护中国产业合法权益”。
The ministry urged the European Union to stick to dialogue and said China would watch Brussels’ next moves closely, vowing to “resolutely respond and defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese industry” if the EU introduced “discriminatory” restrictions on Chinese firms or products.
