The U.S. ambassador to the EU, Mark Gitenstein, stated that China is intentionally manipulating markets through an overflow of inexpensive products.

Gitenstein stated on Tuesday to CNBC's Silvia Amaro that China was intentionally targeting economic sectors in both Europe and the United States through a deliberate effort.

The Chinese Embassy in London declined to provide a comment when contacted by CNBC.

The Biden administration announced a hike in tariff rates on $18 billion worth of Chinese imports, including increasing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from 25% to 100%, and the ambassador's comments came in response to this announcement.

Amid growing concerns over the influx of inexpensive Chinese "green" products, such as electric vehicles, batteries, and solar panels, into international markets.

Beijing has been warned by White House officials to change certain trade practices that are believed to have weakened global supply chains. Additionally, the European Commission conducted an investigation into Chinese electric vehicles and considered imposing "anti-subsidy duties" in the future.

Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel have discussed extensively with Gitenstein about the issue of overcapacity in China, which is affecting markets in the US and Europe.

The PRC is attacking our green tech sector, and we will protect our workers and the affected areas of the economy.
