China on Thursday urged the EU to abide by WTO rules and avoid abusing trade remedy measures.
In a recent report, the EU has described China's economy as distorted.
"The relevant report makes irresponsible remarks about China's economy and takes unfair measures to China through creating various pretexts, but the report does not mention the EU's own actions in violating WTO rules," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Thursday.
"It is hypocritical to have double standards," she said. "Using zero-sum game mentality to deal with reciprocal cooperation will injure others and harm [the EU] itself."
"In recent years, China's economic development has made historic achievements, providing important material conditions for development and reform in other fields, and making important contributions to the stability and growth of the world economy," Hua said. "The socialist economy with Chinese characteristics has a bright future."
