BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that media reports of Chinese demands on nuclear power investment complicating bilateral talks with the European Union are “fake”.
Discussions on the China-EU investment pact are proceeding “smoothly”, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman at the Chinese foreign ministry, said at a regular briefing.
Negotiations have stalled at the last stretch because China is raising additional demands on nuclear energy, German magazine WirtschaftsWoche reported on Wednesday.
