The U.S. Commerce Department is investigating whether Chinese producers export solar panels and equipment to the United States at improperly low prices because they receive subsidies in the form of low-cost land and other support. Chen said Beijing has tried to avoid protectionist measures in line with appeals by leaders of the Group of 20 major developed and emerging economies to help restore global growth. He accused Washington of raising trade barriers but gave no details.

He said China "seems to be embracing state capitalism more strongly each year."
