EU envoy to China: Probes not targeting foreign firms

Ambassador is confident bilateral investment treaty will be achieved

The new European Union ambassador to China said it does not make sense to say the country is targeting foreign companies for antitrust investigations based on just one or two cases.

Hans Dietmar Schweisgut, speaking on Tuesday at his first news conference since arriving in Beijing on Friday, said the EU is looking forward to a constructive dialogue on antitrust issues and will push forward a bilateral investment treaty during his tenure in China.
