Jorge Toledo, the EU's ambassador to China, was quoted by media as saying Beijing had only recently responded to the bloc's request for talks.

"China is bound to take all measures to safeguard its rights and interests against any egregious practices that abuse the rules and suppress China," the ministry added.
