China's Ministry of Justice
VS
European Union
China's Ministry of Justice is a government body responsible for legal affairs and judicial administration in China.
The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of member states that enforces regulations on foreign companies operating within its market.
The dispute centers on the EU's Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), which allows the EU to investigate foreign companies for potential subsidies that could distort competition in the EU market.
The conflict arises because China's Ministry of Justice has declared the EU's cross-border investigation into Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com under the FSR as unlawful extraterritorial jurisdiction.
China argues that the EU's actions constitute undue interference and abuse of unilateral tools to suppress Chinese enterprises.
In response, China has applied new administrative regulations to block European data demands and has ordered Chinese firms not to assist the EU's probe, escalating the regulatory clash.
The stakes involve the legality and scope of regulatory reach, with China asserting its opposition to what it sees as the EU's suppression of Chinese companies.
The dispute highlights broader tensions in EU-China trade relations, as China has stated it will not sit idly by while the EU uses unilateral measures against its firms.
