A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce answered reporters' questions regarding the "dual-track" approach to China proposed at the EU summit: The understanding reached between China and the EU on hybrid vehicles, based on the three principles of adherence to WTO rules, fact-based approach, and non-discrimination, is mutually beneficial and effectively safeguards the actual interests of Chinese enterprises while also addressing EU concerns and preventing an escalation of trade friction between China and the EU. The claim that "EU pressure worked" is completely unfounded.
