China said it started an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation of wine imports from the European Union after the 27-nation bloc yesterday imposed tariffs on Chinese solar panels.

The EU yesterday announced tariffs as high as 67.9 percent on solar panels from China, which will be implemented initially at a lower rate of 11.8 percent. China’s Ministry of Commerce responded today by saying the country “firmly” opposes the EU decision and in the same statement said that Chinese authorities had started the probe of wine imports.
