China opposes EU's probes into solar, telecom companies

Measures 'harm others without benefiting oneself'

Premier Li Keqiang said on Friday that China firmly opposes the European Union's probes into Chinese solar and telecom products, suggesting that once the results of the investigations are released, both sides will be harmed.

Li said in a speech delivered at a luncheon with business and financial leaders during his trip to Switzerland that China is keeping a close eye on the EU's trade probes, urging the bloc to use trade-protection measures cautiously.
