What to know

  • China's Ministry of Justice banned Chinese entities from assisting an EU investigation into JD.com's €2.2 billion takeover of Ceconomy.
  • The dispute centers on the EU's Foreign Subsidies Regulation, which Beijing calls improper extraterritorial jurisdiction.
  • The move mirrors China's response to a similar EU probe in spring 2026, pointing to a recurring pattern in the regulatory standoff.
  • The European Commission opened its in-depth investigation into the deal in May 2026 and has not yet responded publicly to the new Chinese order in the available coverage.
