GENEVA, Switzerland — China has moved forward with a complaint at the World Trade Organization (WTO) that alleges the European Union has improperly set anti-subsidy tariffs on new Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs).

The Chinese diplomatic mission to the WTO said on Monday it 'strongly opposes' the measures and insisted its move was designed to protect the EV industry and support a global transition toward greener technologies.
