Bilateral trade between China and the EU last year reached US$786 billion with investment rising to US$260 billion. Yet friction remains as the EU has moved to curb the access of Chinese medical device makers to public procurement contracts and imposed high tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This comes after the EU designated China as "a partner for cooperation, an economic competitor, and a systemic rival". How well will this approach play out? What are the expectations for China-EU trade relations going forward? How are U.S. protectionist policies impacting China-EU relations?

China and the European Union are stepping up cooperation as the United States ramps up tariff pressure and global trade fragmentation deepens, signaling the shared commitment of China and the EU to openness, stability and mutual benefit in an increasingly uncertain world, experts said.专家指出，在美国持续加码关税压力与全球贸易碎片化加剧的背景下，中国与欧盟正持续深化合作，这一动向彰显了双方在日益动荡的国际环境中坚守开放、稳定、互利原则的共同承诺。Chinese investment in the EU surged 47 percent year-on-year to 10 billion euros ($11.4 billion) in 2024, marking its first significant rebound since 2016.2024年中国对欧盟投资额同比增长47%, 达到100亿欧元（约合114亿美元），实现自2016年以来首次显著回升。The growth, driven by record-high greenfield investment and a revival of mergers and acquisitions, reflects the enduring complementarities between the two sides, according to a joint report released on Wednesday by the New York-based Rhodium Group and German think tank Mercator Institute for China Studies. Greenfield investment is a type of foreign direct investment in which a parent company starts a business operation in a foreign country from scratch.根据纽约荣鼎集团与德国墨卡托中国研究中心周三联合发布的报告，这一由创纪录的绿地投资和并购复苏驱动的增长，印证了中欧经济结构的持久互补性。报告特别说明，绿地投资作为外商直接投资模式，特指母公司在外国从零开始新建业务的投资行为。Analysts said the momentum underscores the strategic importance of China-EU economic ties at a time when Washington's unilateral tariff hikes threaten to upend global supply chains. Strengthening cooperation in green energy, digital infrastructure and smart manufacturing will not only serve both sides' development interests, but also help safeguard the multilateral trading system, they added.分析师表示，当前美国单边加征关税政策正威胁全球供应链稳定之际，中欧经贸往来升温态势凸显了双方经济关系的战略重要性。他们还表示，加强在绿色能源、数字基础设施和智能制造等领域的合作，不仅契合双方发展利益，更有助于维护多边贸易体系。China's greenfield investment in Europe increased for the third year in a row and reached an all-time high of 5.9 billion euros, while merger and acquisition investment more than doubled in 2024 to 4.1 billion euro, according to the report.中国在欧洲的绿地投资连续第三年增长，2024年达59亿欧元创历史新高，并购投资额同比翻番至41亿欧元。Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology, or CATL, emerged as the leading investor in 2024, accounting for 16 percent of total investment, mostly from the ongoing construction of its battery plant in Hungary, the report said.报告显示，中国电池巨头宁德时代（CATL）凭借匈牙利电池工厂的持续建设，以占总投资额16%的占比成为2024年主要投资方。Ding Chun, director of Shanghai-based Fudan University's Centre for European Studies, said, "China and the EU possess expansive common ground and enormous potential for cooperation in green energy, smart manufacturing and artificial intelligence."复旦大学欧洲研究中心主任丁纯表示：“中欧在绿色能源、智能制造和人工智能等领域拥有广阔合作空间与巨大发展潜力。”As of the end of 2024, EU enterprises had cumulatively invested more than $150 billion in China, data from the Ministry of Commerce showed.商务部数据显示，截至2024年底，欧盟企业累计对华投资超1500亿美元。China and Europe should work together to safeguard the stability of the multilateral trading system and global industrial chains, rather than allowing trade disputes to spiral into broader geopolitical conflicts, Ding said.丁纯指出，中欧应共同维护多边贸易体系和全球产业链稳定，避免让贸易争端升级为更广泛的地缘政治冲突。Last month, China and the EU floated the idea of lifting the tariffs on Chinese EVs through possible commitments to minimum prices, known as price undertakings for imported cars.上月，中欧双方就通过建立最低价格承诺机制（即进口汽车"价格承诺"制度）取消中国电动汽车关税展开可行性探讨。A further increase in China's investment in Europe is possible in 2025, the report said, noting that EU-China ties could improve amid the US' new trade war.报告认为，随着美国掀起新一轮贸易战，2025年中国对欧投资有望继续增长，中欧关系或将迎来改善契机。Simon Lichtenberg, the All China founding chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, told China Daily that Europe has recognized the problems arising from being overly dependent on the US in the past and is now seeking to cultivate a more independent stance and perspective.中国丹麦商会创始全国主席李曦萌 (Simon Lichtenberg)向《中国日报》表示，欧洲已意识到过去过度依赖美国产生的问题，当前正着力培育更具独立性的立场与视角。This shifting mindset presents an opportunity for stronger China-EU cooperation, as both sides seek to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape, Lichtenberg said.他指出，这种思维转变为深化中欧合作提供机遇，双方可在复杂地缘政治格局中探寻共赢路径。"China's manufacturing capability is truly outstanding, perhaps the best in the world," he said. "If we do not leverage it, we would be sacrificing a crucial part of the global value."“中国制造业实力堪称卓越，或许堪称世界最佳。”他强调，“若不加以利用，我们将失去全球价值链中至关重要的一环。”"Now more than ever, we need to uphold global trade," Lichtenberg added. "Together we are stronger, and we can all stand to win if we work together."“当下比以往任何时候都更需维护全球贸易，”李曦萌强调，“团结使我们更加强大，通过合作，我们终将实现共赢。”Yao Ling, director of the European Institute at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that with combined economic might accounting for over one-third of global GDP and trade volume exceeding one-fourth of global trade, China and the EU stand as important economic partners, presenting immense opportunities for each other's development.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院欧洲研究所所长姚铃表示，中欧经济总量占全球GDP三分之一以上，贸易额超全球贸易四分之一，作为重要经济伙伴为彼此发展提供巨大机遇。In particular, the deepening of China-EU cooperation within the framework of the global trading system could help mitigate the disruptive impact of Washington's unilateral and erratic tariff policies, Yao added.姚铃补充指出，特别是在全球贸易体系框架下深化中欧合作，将有助于缓解美国单边、反复无常加征关税政策所造成的破坏性影响。price undertakings价格承诺greenfield investment绿地投资from scratch从零开始; 从头做起leverage/ˈli:vərɪdʒ/v.利用smart manufacturing智能制造

China and the European Union will soon reach a milestone: 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties. Over the past five decades, trade between the two sides has expanded from $2.4 billion to $780 billion. Two-way investment has increased from almost zero to nearly $260 billion. President Xi Jinping has said that when the world becomes more challenging and complex, China and the EU have more reasons to renew their purpose in establishing diplomatic ties and strengthen strategic communication.Will the two sides have the capacity and wisdom to remain each other's trustworthy partner despite their differences?

As Canada heads to the polls on Monday, a historic shift in national identity and foreign policy is unfolding, driven by growing disillusionment with the United States and a renewed embrace of European alliances. Across Canada there is a strong sense that this crucial election is about more than domestic policy.It is being seen as a referendum not just on leadership, but on Canada's place in the world – particularly in terms of its increasingly strained relationship with the United States and a growing desire to forge closer ties with allies in Europe.“This election really matters,” said Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute, a Canadian, non-profit polling organisation.“More than nine in 10 Canadians say it's more important than the last two elections – and over seven and a half million have already voted early. That's huge, in a country of just over 40 million."From Trudeau to CarneyThe election follows the resignation of Justin Trudeau in January, after nearly a decade in office.While once a global liberal icon, Trudeau had seen his domestic popularity plunge, and by the end of 2024 his Liberal Party was trailing the opposition Conservatives by 30 percentage points.His departure set the stage for Mark Carney, the former Bank of England governor, to step into the political spotlight as the new Liberal party leader.But it wasn't just the change in Liberal leadership that shifted the political winds.“The other main character,” as Kurl put it, “was Donald Trump."Trump unveils sweeping US tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China - EU next?Trump's re-emergence on the US political stage – and his increasingly provocative comments about Canada – electrified the Canadian political conversation.He floated ideas about annexation, referred to Canada as "ripe for reabsorption", and reintroduced aggressive trade rhetoric – all of which triggered a wave of public backlash north of the border.“Canadians initially dismissed it as Trump being Trump,” Kurl told RFI. “But the more he talked, the more seriously people took it. There was real anger, a sense of betrayal – and the politicians who leaned into that emotion did well”.Nationalism, the Canadian wayCarney responded with a tone rarely seen in Canadian politics: firm, unapologetic nationalism.He rejected Trump's rhetoric outright, reiterated Canada's sovereignty and committed to defending Canadian interests – economically and politically.“We don't tend to do overt nationalism in Canada,” Kurl explained. “But this time, it worked."We saw a huge swing in the polls – from a 30-point deficit to a five-point Liberal lead today. And that shift is in no small part down to Carney embracing a message of pride and independence."What's changed most dramatically is the tone of Canada's relationship with the US, once its closest ally.Kurl notes that Canadian travel to the US has dropped significantly in recent months, a reflection of a more widespread cooling of sentiment towards the country's southern neighbour.“The US was Canada's best friend – not just its biggest trading partner, but emotionally too. And now people are saying, this just isn't working."And for Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, this has been a missed opportunity, as he ignored the Trump factor until the campaign was already under way.For Kurl, Poilievre's recognition of Canadian anger and disappointment with the US came "too little, too late".New Canadian PM in Europe to seek 'reliable partners' amidst trade war with USLooking towards EuropeIn Carney's first foreign visit as prime minister, he bypassed Washington opting instead to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.The symbolism was clear: Canada is looking elsewhere for dependable allies.That shift is not just diplomatic theatre. The Carney-Macron meeting produced agreements on cybersecurity, clean energy and artificial intelligence, and reaffirmed both countries' support for Ukraine.This new strategic alignment has deep roots – particularly in Quebec, where cultural and historical ties to France have given the pivot to Europe added momentum and legitimacy.“It's not just short-term crisis management,” said Kurl. “Canada's been burned before by Trump. During his first term, we saw the renegotiation of Nafta and a lot of anti-Canada trade rhetoric. But nothing really changed – the economy remained heavily tied to the US. This time, there's a real sense that we need to act, not just wait it out."That said, a full break with the US is not on the cards.“There can never be a complete divorce,” Kurl concedes. “Our economies are deeply intertwined, and we share a very, very long border. But there is a renewed focus: Canada must diversify its economic relationships. It can't afford not to."French PM defends Ceta trade deal on visit to Canada, despite lawmakers' rejectionFor voters, this election is about who can best protect Canada's independence, its values and its interests, in an increasingly volatile international environment.As Kurl said: "Canadians are taking this election very seriously, because they know what's at stake. The question is no longer just, who should lead us? It's, where do we go from here?"

China has urged the United States to cancel its unilateral tariffs as quickly as possible, and get back on track to properly address differences through equal dialogue.中国敦促美方尽快取消单边关税，回到通过平等对话妥善处理分歧的正轨上来。If the US stubbornly pursues its course of a trade war, China will "fight till the end" to defend its legitimate rights and interests, Chinese officials said on Thursday.中国官员周四表示，如果美方一意孤行地打贸易战，中方将“誓死捍卫自身合法权益”。They didn't specify whether Beijing will again raise tariffs on US goods, which now stand at an additional 84 percent, in response to the latest decision by the US on Wednesday to raise the tariff on Chinese imports to 125 percent.中国官员并未具体说明北京是否会再次提高对美商品的关税。目前，美国对华商品的关税已高达84%，以回应美方周三将对华进口商品的关税提高至125%。The China Film Administration said on Thursday evening that the country—the world's second-largest film market—will moderately reduce the imports of US films.中国国家电影局周四晚间表示，作为全球第二大电影市场，中国将适度减少美国电影的进口。"The US government's abuse of tariffs against China will inevitably lead to a further decline in the favorable perception of US films among the Chinese audience," the administration said in an online statement. "We will adhere to the law of the market and respect the choices of the audience, and moderately reduce the number of US films imported."国家电影局发布声明表示：“美国政府滥用关税对华政策，必然导致中国观众对美国电影的好感度进一步下降。我们将遵循市场规律，尊重观众选择，适度减少美国电影的进口数量。”He Yongqian, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce, said at a news conference on Thursday, "Our position is consistent and clear—the door to dialogue is open, but any discussions must be conducted on the basis of mutual respect and equality."中国商务部发言人何永乾周四在新闻发布会上表示：“中方立场是一贯和明确的——对话的大门是敞开的，但任何讨论都必须在相互尊重和平等的基础上进行。”However, she stressed the abuse of pressure, threats and extortion is not the way to engage with China.但她强调，滥用施压、威胁和勒索并非与中国交往之道。"We hope that the two countries will meet each other halfway and work toward resolving differences through dialogue and consultation, guided by the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation," she added.她补充道：“我们希望两国相向而行，在相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢的原则指导下，通过对话协商解决分歧。”She noted that the current bonded policies in the special supervision areas of China's free trade zones will still be applicable for US goods, specifying that taxes will still need to be duly paid once the US goods depart the designated areas and enter the Chinese market for sales.她指出，中国自贸区特殊监管区域内的现行保税政策仍将适用于美国商品，并明确规定美国商品离开指定区域进入中国市场销售后仍需按时缴纳税款。US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he was pausing his new tariffs for 90 days except on China.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三表示，他将暂停对除中国以外的所有国家征收新关税90天。Trump said on social media that he had "authorized a 90-day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10 percent, also effective immediately". He did not specify which countries the pause would apply to, but he was clear that the levies would climb for China.特朗普在社交媒体上表示，他已“授权暂停90天，并在此期间大幅降低10%的对等关税，同样即日生效”。他没有具体说明暂停措施将适用于哪些国家，但他明确表示，对中国的关税将有所提高。Gary Winslett, an assistant political science professor at Middlebury College in Vermont, said: "The 90-day pause is a step in the right direction, but the trade war with China is still bad, the universal 10 percent tariff is even worse, the on-again-off-again approach is bad for investment and jobs, and we further undermined geopolitical leadership with nothing to show for it."佛蒙特州明德学院政治学助理教授加里·温斯莱特表示：“90天的暂停是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，但与中国的贸易战本身依然有害，10%的普遍关税更糟糕，反复无常的政策令投资与就业环境雪上加霜，我们的地缘领导力也在不断被削弱。”Analysts noted that the Trump administration's 10 percent base tariff is still in place, suggesting that more rounds of tariff negotiations are ahead. The White House said that over 70 countries had come forward to negotiate tariffs this week.分析人士指出，特朗普政府10%的基准关税仍然有效，这表明未来还有更多轮关税谈判。白宫表示，本周已有超过70个国家提出就关税进行谈判。Luo Zhenxing, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of American Studies, said that the US' selective approach to different countries allows Washington to maintain its image, as removing tariffs across the board could be seen as a setback. In addition, it shows that the Trump administration is using tariffs as a tool and weapon, likely targeting China, Luo added.中国社会科学院美国研究所副研究员罗振兴表示，美国对不同国家采取选择性措施，有助于维护自身形象，因为全面取消关税可能会被视为一种挫败。此外，这也表明特朗普政府正在将关税作为一种工具和武器，可能用于针对中国。Such moves by the US have severely disrupted the global trade system. Regardless of future policy directions, key global trade principles like the WTO's nondiscrimination rule have been significantly undermined, potentially leading to a restructuring of global trade and even global financial systems, Luo said.罗振兴表示，美国的此类举动严重扰乱了全球贸易体系。无论未来的政策走向如何，像世贸组织非歧视性规则这样的关键全球贸易原则都已受到严重破坏，这可能导致全球贸易乃至全球金融体系的重组。Lin Jian, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, told a news conference on Thursday that China will never allow the international economic and trade rules and the multilateral trading system to be undermined.外交部发言人林剑周四在新闻发布会上表示，中国绝不允许国际经贸规则和多边贸易体制受到破坏。The US is placing its own interests above the legitimate interests of the rest of the world, sacrificing the just interests of all countries to serve its hegemonic ambitions, Lin said, adding that this will inevitably face stronger opposition from the international community.林坚表示，美国将自身利益置于世界其他国家的合法利益之上，为了实现其霸权野心不惜牺牲所有国家的正当利益，这必将遭到国际社会的强烈反对。China and the European Union have recently exchanged views on strengthening economic and trade cooperation in response to US tariff hikes.中国与欧盟近期就加强经贸合作应对美国加征关税交换了意见。The latest move came as Commerce Minister Wang Wentao held a video call on Tuesday with European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maros Sefcovic, during which they discussed various issues, including enhancing China-EU economic and trade cooperation and responses to the US imposition of so-called "reciprocal tariffs", according to a statement released by the Commerce Ministry on Thursday.据中国商务部周四发布的声明，商务部长王文涛周二与欧盟贸易和经济安全委员谢夫乔维奇举行视频通话，就加强中欧经贸合作、应对美国加征所谓“对等关税”等议题进行了讨论。Wang said that under current circumstances, China and the EU jointly upholding the rules-based multilateral trading system and staying committed to trade liberalization and facilitation will "inject more stability and certainty into the global economic and trade landscape".王文涛表示，在当前形势下，中欧共同维护基于规则的多边贸易体制，坚持贸易自由化便利化，将“为全球经贸格局注入更多稳定性和确定性”。According to the statement, the two sides agreed to immediately start negotiations on electric vehicle pricing commitments, and resume the China-EU trade remedy dialogue mechanism.声明称，双方同意立即启动电动汽车价格承诺谈判，并重启中欧贸易救济对话机制。The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China said on Thursday that China has the chance to establish a business environment that can provide the stability and reliability that investors require.中国欧盟商会周四表示，中国有机会建立一个能够为投资者提供所需稳定性和可靠性的营商环境。On the contrary, the US is now rolling back on many of the principles that have underpinned its approach to global trade and investment, which has created unprecedented global economic uncertainty, the chamber said.该商会表示，相比之下，美国目前正在放弃其全球贸易和投资方针的许多原则，这造成了前所未有的全球经济不确定性。retaliationn.报复sanctionn.制裁levyv.征税equal dialogue平等对话hegemonicadj.霸权的multilateral trading system多边贸易体制

Beijing announced a tariff hike on U.S. imports to 84% from 34%, shortly after America's 104% tariffs on Chinese imports kicked in on Wednesday. The EU said it would impose 25% tariffs on a range of U.S. imports in a first round of countermeasures. The 27-member bloc faces U.S. tariffs of 20% on most products and higher duties on autos and steel. Countermeasures in Canada, a close U.S. ally and major trading partner, also took effect on Wednesday.U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer testified on Wednesday before the House Ways and Means Committee on President Donald Trump's 2025 trade policy agenda.

Singapore’s shares bucked the regional trend today as Asian markets fell hard on the back of US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs. The country imposes no tariffs on US products under the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement and was only subject to the baseline 10 per cent rate. The Straits Times Index (STI) was relatively little moved, falling about 0.5 per cent shortly after the open. In terms of companies to watch, we have OCBC after the bank announced yesterday that it plans to deploy £10 billion (S$17.4 billion) in financing over the next six years to support foreign direct investment into the UK. Elsewhere, from the impact of US tariffs on key Asian markets such as Japan, South Korea and China, to the implications of possible retaliation by the US largest trading partners – more international headlines remain in focus. Also on deck, how gold hit a record high today as investors rushed towards the safe haven asset.

On Monday, the White House launched a review of its $9 billion in federal funding—weeks after stripping Columbia University of $400 million. Harvard's new president, Alan Garber, has acted swiftly: dismissing Middle Eastern Studies leaders, cutting ties with a West Bank university, and reinforcing academic diversity guidelines. Critics say it's not enough. Former Harvard President Larry Summers accused the school of ignoring Israeli perspectives, while faculty worry Garber is caving to political pressure. Princeton, too, is caught in the crossfire, with Trump pausing dozens of its research grants. Princeton's president calls it “the greatest threat to American universities since the Red Scare.” Garber warns that losing federal funds could cripple research, but with Trump's task force investigating multiple institutions, the battle is far from over. India Eyes Bigger Green Bond Target India is considering increasing its ₹25,342 crore sovereign green bond issuance for FY26, riding on investor interest. Green bonds, which fund renewable energy and climate projects, currently see a 2-3 basis point premium (“greenium”) over regular bonds in India, lower than the 3-8 points seen in developed markets. Officials expect higher returns this year amid global shifts towards sustainable finance. However, if investor demand falls short, the government may scale back. Since 2022, India has issued ₹58,000 crore in green bonds to support its 500 GW non-fossil fuel energy target by 2030. The coming months will determine investor appetite and the country's green finance trajectory. Manufacturing Rebounds, But Trade Risks Loom India's manufacturing sector rebounded in March, with the HSBC PMI hitting 58.1—its highest in eight months—driven by surging new orders. Strong demand and marketing efforts fueled the recovery, but concerns over potential US tariffs linger. President Trump is set to announce new trade measures on April 2, raising fears of weakened exports. A 20% tariff hike could shave 0.4% off India's GDP, according to Capital Economics. Inflation is also rising, with higher costs for copper, electronics, and rubber. The RBI, meeting April 7-9, may cut rates to support growth, but with Q4 GDP tracking at 6.7%, below its 6.5% target, economic uncertainty remains. IPL Drives Food Delivery Boom The IPL season is fueling a surge in food orders, with fast-food chains cashing in. Domino's sees no sign of demand slowing, doubling down on promotions like its six-in-one pizza. Streaming and TV viewership are soaring—JioHotstar reported a 40% spike in digital engagement, while TV audiences hit 253 million in the first three matches. Rebel Foods, which runs Wendy's and Oven Story, increased marketing spend by 10-20%, banking on the cricket frenzy. Last year, IPL-driven sales jumped 60-70%, and brands expect another blockbuster season despite broader economic concerns.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has forced the EU to reassess its ties with both Moscow and Beijing. As the EU navigates its dependencies on Russian energy, Chinese markets, and US security, how is its long-term strategy evolving? Can Europe maintain a unified stance on China? And what does this mean for global power dynamics? In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Yuyun Zhan is joined by Alicia García-Herrero, Elina Ribakova, and Ivana Karásková to discuss the shifting landscape of China-EU relations in the wake of the war in Ukraine. Check out Bruegel's research on China and on defence.

Send us a textChina and the EU ended 2024 in something of a tricky situation as the row over electric vehicle tariffs threatens to undo much of the good will built up by Xi Jinping's summer trip to Europe, and visits to Beijing by a number of EU leaders over the past 12 months. So with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties coming up in May of 2025 just where do relations stand between two of the world's biggest trading partners? To find out, on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to John Alistair Clarke, Former Director for International Affairs at the EU Commission & former head of the EU delegation to the WTO and UN, Yin Zhiguang, Professor of international politics at Fudan University and Finnish MP and former minister of Transport, Timo Harakka.

The European Union has decided to levy countervailing duties against Chinese-made electric vehicles. This coincides with the United States' stepping up of its technological containment vis-à-vis China. What will be the future of China-EU relations? Will Europe increasingly follow in the footsteps of the U.S., not just in terms of security, but economically as well?

Chinese business confidence in the European Union has declined for a fifth year to a new low. What have the companies gone through in the once highly regarded fair and open market?

The European Union's plan to impose definitive countervailing duties on imports of electric vehicles from China is likely to weaken Chinese investors' confidence in Europe and hinder the growth of the global green industry, said market watchers and industry leaders on Wednesday.8月21日，市场观察人士和行业领导者表示，欧洲委员会委员会向相关方披露了对从中国进口的纯电动汽车征收最终反补贴税的决定草案，此举或将失去中企投资，并阻碍全球绿色产业的增长。The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, said on Tuesday that it plans to impose import tariffs of up to 36.3 percent on EVs produced in China, and that any potential measures would be in force for five years. A final decision is pending.8月20日，欧洲委员会委员会表示，计划对从中国进口的纯电动汽车征收高达36.3%的反补贴税，任何潜在措施的有效期为5年，最终决定正在等待中。Following the EU's move, China's Ministry of Commerce vowed to take all necessary measures to defend the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.在欧洲委员会采取行动后，中华人民共和国商务部（以下简称商务部）坚决反对，表示将采取一切必要措施坚定捍卫中国企业合法权利。In addition, to safeguard the interests of China's dairy businesses, the ministry announced on Wednesday that China will launch an anti-subsidy probe into certain dairy products imported from EU member states.此外，为了维护中国乳制品企业的利益，商务部于8月14日宣布就有关反补贴调查事项向欧洲委员会政府发出磋商邀请。The ministry will review the applicants' qualifications, details regarding the products under investigation, the impact of these products on the domestic industry, and pertinent information about the involved countries or regions.商务部依据《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》有关规定，对申请人的资格、申请调查产品的有关情况、中国同类产品的有关情况、申请调查产品对国内产业的影响、申请调查国家（地区）的有关情况等进行了审查。The EV tariffs decision was based on facts determined unilaterally by the EU, rather than mutually recognized facts, and China firmly opposes it and is deeply concerned about the move, the Commerce Ministry said in an online statement late Tuesday.8月19日，美国商务部在线上声明中表示，电动汽车征税决定是基于欧洲委员会单方面确定的事实，而并非双方达成的共识；中国对此坚决反对。Since the end of June, China and the EU have conducted more than 10 rounds of technical consultations on the EV issue, according to the ministry.自6月底以来，中国和欧洲委员会已就电动汽车问题进行了10多轮磋商。Zhang Xiang, an auto industry researcher at Beijing-based North China University of Technology, said the release of the definitive findings underscores the EU's clear bias against Chinese EVs, further complicating the ongoing talks.北方工业大学汽车产业创新研究中心研究员张翔表示，最终调查结果的发布体现了欧洲委员会对中国电动汽车的明显偏见，使正在进行的谈判进一步复杂化。Similar views were expressed by Sun Xiaohong, secretary-general of the automotive branch of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products, or the CCCME.中国机电产品进出口商会汽车分会秘书长孙晓红也持类似观点。The European Commission "has largely maintained the originally proposed import duties on Chinese automakers, despite extensive efforts by the Chinese government, industry associations and manufacturers to communicate and coordinate since early July", said Sun.孙晓红表示，欧洲委员会称“尽管中国政府、行业协会和制造商自7月初以来进行了广泛的沟通和协调，但仍维持了最初提议的对中国汽车制造商征收的进口关税”。Shi Yonghong, vice-president of the CCCME, said that even though many European countries such as Spain, France, Italy and Poland are eager to attract Chinese investment, the EU's decision will raise concerns among Chinese investors about the market and policy environment in the EU.中国机电商会石永红表示，包括西班牙、法国、意大利和波兰在内的许多欧洲国家都渴望吸引中国投资，最重要的是欧盟能够提供友好稳定的营商环境，而频频对企业发起各种不公平不公正的调查，显然将加剧企业对营商环境和投资风险的担忧。This could affect Chinese companies' future direct investment in Europe, especially that of companies in the EV, power battery and auto parts industries, he said.这可能会影响中国企业未来在欧洲的直接投资，尤其是电动汽车、动力电池和汽车零部件行业的公司。Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degree Committee at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation in Beijing, said, "If a win-win situation cannot be achieved, Chinese companies are likely to avoid the European market and seek new opportunities elsewhere. "商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院学位委员会委员白明表示：“如果实现不了双赢，中方企业很可能会避开欧洲市场，寻找新的商机。”Chinese automaker BYD, rather than investing elsewhere in Europe this year, will invest around $1 billion to build a plant in Turkiye, according to information released by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology in early July. The factory will have an annual capacity of 150,000 vehicles.根据土耳其工业和技术部于7月初发布的信息，中国汽车制造商比亚迪今年将投资约10亿美元在土耳其建设工厂，其年产可达15万辆汽车。Turkiye's membership in the EU Customs Union will enable vehicles produced within its market to be exported to EU countries without incurring tariffs.比亚迪选择从土耳其出口欧盟的话，关税税率将会明显降低。Maciej Mazur, president of the Brussels-based European Association for Electromobility, said in late July that the EU's planned tariffs on Chinese EVs will lead to an increase in European EV prices, hurting European consumers and car manufacturers, and will cause friction in China-EU business relations.欧洲电动出行协会(AVERE)主席马切伊·马祖尔(Maciej Mazur)于7月下旬到访欧盟中国商会，表示欧盟对中国电动汽车加征关税不利于欧洲消费者，也不利于欧洲汽车制造商，还会导致欧中关系紧张。China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Productsn.中国机电产品进出口商会汽车分会

President Xi Jinping said on Monday that a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis and an early ceasefire are in the best interest of all parties, and urged the international community to create conditions for direct dialogue and negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.Xi made the remarks during a meeting in Beijing with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who arrived in the Chinese capital on Monday morning. "Peace mission 3.0" is how Orban captioned a picture posted on social media platform X soon after his arrival in Beijing.Orban's visit to the Chinese capital comes on the heels of his trips last week to Moscow and Kyiv, where he proposed that Ukraine consider agreeing to an immediate cease-fire with Russia.During the meeting in Beijing, the two leaders engaged in in-depth discussions on the Ukraine crisis. Orban briefed Xi about his recent visits to Russia and Ukraine. Xi commended him for his efforts to promote a political resolution of the Ukraine crisis and outlined China's views and propositions on the matter.Xi said that priority should be given to adhering to the "three principles of no spillover from the battlefield, no escalation of fighting and no adding fuel to the fire by relevant parties", in order to quickly cool down the situation.He underlined the need for the international community to provide assistance for direct dialogue and negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Only when all major powers exert "positive rather than negative influence" can a ceasefire occur, he said.Xi said that China has been actively facilitating peace talks in its own way, encouraging and supporting all efforts conducive to a peaceful resolution of the crisis. Noting that the basic principles and efforts of China and Hungary are aligned, he said that China is willing to continue its communication with Hungary and relevant parties.On Wednesday, Xi reiterated China's position on the Ukraine crisis during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Astana, Kazakhstan. He said that China is willing to continue making positive efforts to promote a political settlement of the crisis.Following his meeting with Xi, Orban posted on X that China is a "key power" in creating the conditions for peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. "This is why I came to meet with President Xi in Beijing, just two months after his official visit to Budapest," Orban wrote.Hungary assumed the rotating presidency of the European Union at the start of July.During his meeting with Orban on Monday, Xi expressed the hope that Hungary would play an active role in promoting the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations and in achieving positive interactions between them.Xi also emphasized that there is no geopolitical wrangling or conflict of fundamental interests between China and the EU.China-EU relations are of strategic significance and global influence and should be kept stable and healthy, he said, adding that both sides should work together to address global challenges.He emphasized the need for both sides to uphold partnership, continue to promote two-way opening-up and strengthen international cooperation, in order to contribute to promoting global peace, stability, development and prosperity.On bilateral relations, Xi said that China will further comprehensively deepen reform, promote high-quality development and advance high-level opening-up, which will provide new opportunities for and inject new impetus into China-Hungary cooperation.He called for maintaining high-level exchanges between the two countries, deepening political mutual trust, and enhancing strategic communication and coordination.Both countries should continue to firmly support each other, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields, and actively participate in the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, Xi said.Recalling Xi's state visit to Hungary in May, Orban said his country advocates strengthening cooperation with China, and opposes forming "small circles" and stoking bloc confrontation.Hungary is willing to take the opportunity of its rotating presidency of the EU to actively promote the sound development of EU-China relations, he said.Orban noted that China wants world peace and has put forward a series of important, constructive initiatives amid a turbulent international situation.China has used practical actions to demonstrate its ability as an important stabilizer in promoting world peace, Orban said. Hungary highly appreciates and values China's role and influence in global affairs, and is willing to closely maintain strategic communication and cooperation with China, he added.Reporter: Cao Desheng

China and the European Union have agreed to launch consultations on the EU's anti-subsidy investigation into China's electric vehicles.

China and the European Union underlined their shared commitment to deepening green cooperation during the latest round on Tuesday of a high-level dialogue on the environment and climate, with analysts urging both sides to properly handle differences to ensure that bilateral collaboration is not undermined by protectionism.Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang and Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Maros Sefcovic co-chaired the fifth High-Level Environment and Climate Dialogue between China and the EU at the EU's headquarters in Brussels. The dialogue was first held in 2020.The vice-premier noted that China and the EU share extensive common interests and broad space for cooperation in green transformation, saying that both sides should fully leverage the high-level dialogue mechanism, seek common ground while setting aside differences, and deepen the China-EU green partnership."We need to tap the potential for cooperation in key areas and strengthen mutual learning in areas such as green energy, green and low-carbon technologies, plastic pollution control, and chemical environmental management," Ding said.He also stressed that the EU's plan to impose additional duties on imports of Chinese electric vehicles is typical protectionism.The European Commission has said it will impose extra duties of up to 38.1 percent on imported Chinese-made electric vehicles starting in July.This is not conducive to the green transformation of the EU and would undermine global cooperation on climate change, Ding told Sefcovic.Ding expressed his hope that the EU will avoid economic and trade friction that could delay the green transition process, and said that green barriers that would interfere with normal economic and trade cooperation should not be established.The two sides should resolve trade friction through dialogue and consultation, Ding said, adding that China is firm in its resolve to safeguard its legitimate and lawful interests.Jian Junbo, deputy director of the Center for China-Europe Relations at Fudan University's Institute of International Studies, said the additional tariffs imposed on Chinese-made EVs is a negative approach taken by the EU."Such a practice reflects the EU's anxiety between its green development aspirations and its economic protectionist measures," Jian said, adding that it will have negative effects on green cooperation between China and the EU.Sefcovic said the EU is willing to deepen cooperation with China in areas such as tackling climate change and protecting ecology, and to lead global environmental and climate governance.He noted that the EU attaches great importance to the development of the electric vehicle industry and is willing to properly handle differences with China through dialogue.Jian, of the Center for China-Europe Relations, said that the high-level communication mechanism between China and the EU has demonstrated the strong will of both sides and can play a leading role in bilateral environment and climate cooperation.In addition to intergovernmental dialogue and coordination on specific policies, broader participation from businesses is also essential in deepening bilateral cooperation, Jian said.More institutions and companies should be involved in bilateral dialogues and jointly make standards for the green industry, he added.Beyond bilateral dialogue and cooperation, China and the EU, which are pivotal leaders and driving forces in global green development, have substantial room for collaboration involving multilateral platforms, such as the United Nations, he said.The two sides should intensify exchanges and strengthen coordination on the principles, objectives and financing of climate change governance, he added.Reporter: Zhou JinXinhua contributed to this story.

President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that the China-Hungary relationship is now at its best in history, and he called on the two sides to summarize the valuable experience of the past and continue deepening practical cooperation in various sectors.The two countries decided to elevate bilateral relations to an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership in the new era.Xi, who had just concluded state visits to France and Serbia, held talks on Thursday with Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok and Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest, capital of Hungary, on the third leg of his six-day European trip.Calling Sulyok "an experienced statesman and a legal expert", Xi said he appreciates the Hungarian president's long-standing dedication to growing the China-Hungary friendship and his positive contribution to development of bilateral ties.Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1949, China and Hungary have always respected each other, treated each other as equals and pursued mutual benefit.Last year, China was Hungary's largest source of foreign investment, as well as its largest trading partner outside the European Union.As the first European country to sign a cooperation agreement with China on the Belt and Road Initiative, Hungary has been a distribution center for China-Europe freight trains and a crucial link in the logistics transportation corridor between China and Europe over the past decade.Xi stressed the importance of summarizing the valuable experience of the past 75 years, which has ensured the steady development of bilateral ties.The Chinese president also said that China welcomes Hungarian friends to board the express train of Chinese modernization and better align it with Hungary's Eastern Opening policy.China will continue to work with Hungary to guide the correct direction for the joint building of the Belt and Road as well as the cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European countries, he said.Xi also said it is hoped that Hungary, which is set to take over the rotating EU presidency in July, will seize the opportunity to promote the stable and healthy development of China-EU relations.Sulyok, who jointly received Xi with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at a welcoming ceremony on Thursday morning, hailed the positive results of bilateral cooperation in various fields since the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2017.Hungary has greatly benefited through cooperation with China in areas such as infrastructure connectivity under the BRI, he said.Sulyok said his country highly appreciates the Global Development Initiative and other initiatives proposed by the Chinese president, as they are crucial for addressing various challenges facing the world today and for preventing bloc confrontation by advocating for dialogue and cooperation.Noting that it is an established policy of Hungary to strengthen cooperation with China, Sulyok said the Central European country looks forward to promoting key cooperation projects such as the Hungary-Serbia Railway to deliver more benefits to the people.Reporter: Mo Jingxi
