In September 2012, the European Union launched an anti-dumping investigation against Chinese photovoltaic cells  Once the EU decides to impose restrictions on Chinese photovoltaic products, China will lose the European market, which accounts for more than 60% of total sales  If Chinese photovoltaic products lose the European market, Chinese photovoltaic companies will greatly reduce production and affect the employment of hundreds of thousands of employees
However, a Chinese official said, if the EU imposes restrictions on Chinese photovoltaic products, it will shoot itself in the foot
China's photovoltaic industry buys a large number of raw materials and equipment from Europe, which has led to the development of a large number of upstream and downstream enterprises in the European Union
