China announced on Tuesday that it will impose temporary anti-dumping measures on imports of brandy from the European Union (EU) by requiring importers to pay a cash deposit on purchase and that it is studying measures on increasing tariffs for imported fuel-powered cars with large displacement engines.

The moves came days after the EU voted for tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles. The country will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese industries and enterprises, Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) added Tuesday.
