flag China calls EU’s new carbon border tax unfair and WTO-violating, opposing its expansion to steel and aluminum.

flag China has condemned the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), effective January 1, 2026, calling it unfair, discriminatory, and protectionist. flag The Chinese Ministry of Commerce argues the EU’s high default carbon values for Chinese exports ignore China’s green progress and violate WTO rules and UN climate principles. flag China opposes the planned 2028 expansion of CBAM to 180 downstream steel and aluminum products, citing a double standard—especially as the EU eased its 2035 fossil fuel vehicle ban. flag Beijing urges the EU to follow international trade norms, avoid unilateralism, and support open markets, while affirming its willingness to cooperate on climate goals without compromising development interests.
