According to the WiseFinance APP, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce answered questions from reporters regarding the OECD report on industrial subsidies, stating that China's industrial subsidy policy strictly complies with WTO rules and fulfills transparency obligations. China believes that the concepts defined in the OECD report are not rigorous, the sample selection is biased, and the conclusions are unilateral and arbitrary. The so-called "subsidies" in the report lack unified measurement standards and statistical methods and are detached from multilateral frameworks such as the WTO consensus. The report attributes China's increasing market share solely to subsidies from the government, completely ignoring China's true core advantages in economies of scale, production efficiency, technological iterations, and so on. We urge the OECD to conduct research objectively and impartially, listen to relevant stakeholders widely, use comprehensive, accurate, and authoritative data and information, reflect the real situation of industrial development and policy practices, and avoid politicizing and instrumentalizing research reports, thereby undermining its own credibility.
