BEIJING (Reuters) -China announced the next step in its anti-dumping investigation into European brandy imports on Friday, ramping up tension on the day the European Commission's provisional tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles take effect.

The tariffs are provisional, while Brussels conducts a probe in Beijing’s support for its carmakers. China has said both sides should stay at the negotiating table for now. Officials have said they don’t want another trade war, but will take all necessary steps to protect Chinese firms. Reports in state-backed media indicate other possible targets for retaliation. That could include dairy products and luxury cars. The EU tariffs have also divided opinion in Europe. German automakers have called for them to be scrapped, fearing they could be a target for Beijing’s response.
