Chinese wind turbine maker Goldwind Science & Technology Co. Ltd. said it will cooperate with relevant European Union authorities in accordance with all applicable legal procedures, after the European Commission launched an investigation into the company under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR).

The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, announced on Tuesday an in‑depth probe into Goldwind over preliminary concerns that the company may have received foreign subsidies that could distort competition in the EU internal market.

In a statement, Goldwind emphasized that compliance is central to its global operations. It said its business in the EU continues to operate normally and that it remains committed to providing high‑quality services to its European partners.

China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Wednesday that the EU has repeatedly used the FSR to target Chinese companies and that the latest probes involve discriminatory measures.

Goldwind said its competitiveness stems from technological innovation, reliable product quality and market‑based competition. It called for an open, fair and non‑discriminatory international trade and investment environment to support the global energy transition.

MOFCOM noted that China's green industries, including wind power, have actively contributed to global climate goals. It warned that abusing investigative tools would undermine China-EU industrial cooperation, weaken business confidence and slow Europe's own green transition.

Goldwind added that fact‑based and constructive communication with the European Commission will help clarify the situation and allow the company and its partners to stay focused on delivering clean, efficient and reliable energy solutions.

China urged the EU to correct its approach, use the FSR prudently and foster a fair, impartial and predictable market environment. It said it will continue to follow the case closely and take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.
