Germany and France call for tougher EU trade defenses against China
The EU’s largest economies urged stronger defenses as European and Chinese negotiators prepare for crunch talks this week.
Germany and France called for tougher EU trade defenses, citing concerns that China-related trade practices are distorting markets, according to SCMP Economy.
The outlet said the push comes as European and Chinese negotiators prepare for crunch talks this week, under the shadow of a potential trade war.
Germany’s position, as described by SCMP Economy, pointed to the “weaponisation of trade,” systemic market-distorting practices, and global macroeconomic imbalances affecting the open, rules-based trade system.
