[SMM Hydrogen Energy Bulletin] On March 27, the Ministry of Commerce announced in Announcement No. 18 of 2026 that it had initiated a trade barrier investigation into US practices and measures that hinder trade in green products. Preliminary evidence and information obtained by the Ministry of Commerce showed that the US had implemented multiple practices and measures in trade-related areas that hinder trade in green products, including but not limited to restricting exports of green products to the US, slowing the deployment of new energy, and restricting technology cooperation related to green products. The above practices and measures may have seriously harmed the trade interests of Chinese enterprises, and some of these measures were suspected of violating WTO rules and other economic and trade treaties or agreements jointly concluded or participated in by China and the US.
