The probe followed a request from domestic industryA Chinese investigation of pork imports from the European Union will protect the rights and interests of "stakeholders", Reuters reported, citing the commerce ministry on Thursday.
The probe followed a request from domestic industry, ministry spokesperson He Yadong told a regular news conference.
Begun on June 17, the investigation will look into pork and its by-products imported from the European Union after the bloc decided to impose anti-subsidy duties on Chinese electric vehicles.
The provisional EU tariffs were due to take effect on Thursday.
