商务部政策研究室主任林卫龙在7月28日国新办发布会上表示，欧盟近期不断推出对华保护主义措施，这些举措"严重挫伤中国企业对欧合作信心"[1]。林卫龙强调，中方认为分歧不应成为编造不实指责和设限加压的借口，中方愿与欧方通过对话协商妥处分歧摩擦[1]。
针对欧盟提出的人民币被低估的指控，林卫龙予以驳斥，指出这些质疑"缺乏事实依据"[2]。他明确表示，中国不会通过汇率贬值获取竞争优势，也没有必要通过汇率低估来促进出口[2]。林卫龙强调，中国坚持市场在汇率形成中发挥决定性作用，保持人民币汇率在合理均衡水平上的基本稳定[2]。他指出，今年上半年中国与欧盟货物贸易总额同比增长14.2%，达到4478.8亿美元[2]，并表明"中国不是欧盟面临经贸问题的根源，而是解决问题的伙伴"[2]。
China's Commerce Ministry Policy Research Office Director Lin Weilong stated on July 28 that the European Union has been implementing a series of protectionist measures against China, which have severely undermined Chinese enterprises' confidence in cooperating with Europe.[1] Lin emphasized that differences should not serve as a pretext for fabricating false accusations and imposing restrictions, and that China is willing to resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation with the EU.[1]
Addressing European concerns about currency valuation, Lin clarified that China will not pursue competitive advantages through exchange rate depreciation and has no need to artificially undervalue the yuan to boost exports.[2] He stressed that EU claims of yuan undervaluation lack factual basis, noting that China-EU cargo trade reached $447.88 billion in the first half of the year, representing a year-on-year growth of 14.2 percent.[2] Lin reaffirmed China's commitment to allowing market forces to play a decisive role in exchange rate formation, maintaining the yuan at a reasonably balanced level.[2] He concluded that China is not the source of the EU's trade difficulties, but rather a partner in solving them.[2]
