Beijing: China's foreign minister called Monday for "fair competition" during a meeting with his German counterpart that included discussion of the EU's decision to slap extra tariffs on Chinese-made electric cars.

"The EU's imposition of high anti-subsidy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles violates the principles of fair competition and free trade," Wang Yi told Annalena Baerbock, according to a readout of the Beijing meeting published by China's foreign ministry.
