China's Ambassador to the EU on EV Subsidies Probe: China's ambassador to the European Union, Fu Cong, has called the EU's probe into Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers over state subsidies "unfair." The ambassador has stated that China is cooperating with the EU's probe and is concerned that a trade war may result if both sides resort to punitive tariffs. The EU has launched an investigation into whether to impose punitive tariffs to protect European Union producers against cheaper Chinese electric vehicle imports.3. Iron Ore Prices Bounce: Iron ore prices have risen after China's cabinet pledged to inject more funds into the capital market to stabilize the weak stock market. The most-traded May iron ore contract on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange ended daytime trading with a 1.4% increase, and the benchmark February iron ore on the Singapore Exchange was up by 2%.

China Weighs Stock Market Rescue Package: Chinese authorities are considering a package of measures to stabilize a slumping stock market. The package is expected to involve the mobilization of about $278 billion, mainly from offshore accounts of Chinese state-owned enterprises. The funds will be used to buy shares onshore through the Hong Kong exchange link. Other options are also being considered, and an announcement is expected soon if approved by the top leadership of the country.
