China has launched an anti-dumping probe into p-nitrotoluene imports from the EU, just days before a crucial trade talk in Beijing. The move is seen as a significant development in the ongoing trade tensions between China and the EU. The probe targets chemical compound p-nitrotoluene, which is widely used in various industries.

The Chinese government has accused EU exporters of dumping the chemical in the Chinese market, which could harm local producers. The EU has not commented on the probe yet. The trade talks in Beijing are expected to focus on various trade issues, including tariffs and market access.

The probe will now enter a period of investigation, during which the Chinese government will examine the dumping allegations and determine whether EU exporters have indeed engaged in unfair trade practices. The outcome of the probe is uncertain, and it remains to be seen how the EU will respond to the allegations.
