Investing.com -- China has announced on Tuesday an extension to its ongoing investigation into pork imports from the European Union (EU).
This move comes as the Asian giant seeks to strengthen its relationship with the 27-member bloc in the midst of escalating trade disputes with the U.S.
The Chinese commerce ministry has decided to prolong its antidumping probe into EU pork products for an additional six months, extending the deadline to Dec. 16. The ministry cited the "complexity" of the case as the reason for this extension, as stated in an official notice.
The investigation was initially initiated in June of the previous year as a reaction to the EU’s decision to impose antisubsidy duties on Chinese electric vehicles.
The probe was originally scheduled to wrap up later this month.
