China Imposes Anti-Dumping Duties on EU Pork Imports
China is putting extra taxes on pork from Europe.
They think Europe is selling pork too cheaply, which is hurting Chinese pork sellers.
These new taxes, called anti-dumping duties, range from 15.6% to 62.4%.
China says this is happening because European pork is being sold in China for less than it costs to make or less than it sells for in Europe.
This is part of a larger trade dispute, as the EU has placed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
China has also started looking into the possibility of dumping of dairy products.
China is imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on pork imports from the European Union.
The duties range from 15.6% to 62.4%.
China's Commerce Ministry stated the EU is dumping pork and pig by-products.
The ministry claims the prices of EU-produced pork are damaging China's pork industry.
The investigation into EU pork imports started shortly after the EU imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
