Chinese security firm Nuctech said Europe’s top court had rejected its appeal to suspend a decision by the European Commission to inspect the company.

The company had some of its offices raided by EU competition regulators in 2024, as the European Commission launched investigations to assess whether subsidies allowed certain Chinese companies to submit overly advantageous offers in procurement tenders to edge out EU rivals.

Nuctech makes body and luggage scanners for airports and ports in more than 170 countries and it was among Chinese tech companies blacklisted by the U.S. government in 2020, which had said that those companies were security threats.
