BRUSSELS, Sept 13 — Ursula von der Leyen today defended her track record as European Commission chief, as she announced an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicles and presented herself as a champion of European business.

Not for a race to the bottom,” she said. Lawmakers gave a standing ovation after von der Leyen recounted the fate of Victoria Amelina, a Ukrainian writer and activist who was killed in a Russian attack on Ukraine.
