Beijing, August 19 /Xinhua/ — The recent cross-border investigation by the European Union into the Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, undertaken under the European Foreign Subsidies Regulation, is an illegal application of extraterritorial jurisdiction. This was stated on Wednesday by the Ministry of Justice of the PRC.
As stated in the ministry’s statement, no organization or private individual should carry out unlawful measures of the EU’s extraterritorial jurisdiction or facilitate their implementation.
This statement followed the investigation announced by the European Commission into the alleged acquisition of the German retailer Ceconomy by the company JD.com in May.
The Chinese agency indicated that the conclusion was made following an investigation conducted in accordance with the Regulation of the People’s Republic of China on Countering Illegal Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of Foreign States, adopted in April of this year.
In May, citing the same regulatory act, the Ministry of Justice stated that the EU investigation against the Chinese company Nuctech, which manufactures equipment for security and inspection systems, also constitutes an illegal application of extraterritorial jurisdiction. –0–
