China's Commerce Ministry said on Wednesday it had expressed its strong dissatisfaction to the European Union over its record €550 million (HK$4.92 billion) fine on Alibaba's (9988) AliExpress.

It urged the EU to stop what it called "abusing discretionary power via ambiguity of legal provisions", according to a Chinese statement.
