中国外交部发言人毛宁表示,"通过平等对话和协商解决经济贸易分歧符合中欧共同利益"2。德国总理默茨和法国总统马克龙呼吁欧盟采取更强硬措施,欧盟领导人预计下周在布鲁塞尔峰会上讨论与中国的关系2。
EU Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis arrived in Beijing on October 8 to hold talks with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, marking the beginning of a two-day negotiation aimed at addressing escalating trade imbalances between the two sides 12. The meeting precedes a broader EU-China trade and investment consultation mechanism session, with Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Ling Ji simultaneously engaging with EU Director-General for Trade Jørgen Jørgensen in preparatory discussions 1.
The negotiations center on deepening trade friction, with China's rapidly expanding automotive exports to Europe emerging as the primary point of contention 12. According to the EU, China maintains a daily trade surplus of approximately one billion euros (1.12 billion US dollars) with Europe, representing the bloc's highest trade deficit since 2022 2. The European side has accused China of unfair trade practices including state subsidies and dumping, while Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stated that "resolving economic and trade differences through equal dialogue and consultation accords with the common interests of China and Europe" 2. The EU is reportedly considering quota and tariff measures in response to Chinese hybrid vehicle exports 2.
European leaders are intensifying calls for stronger action on the matter. German Chancellor Merz and French President Macron have urged the EU to adopt more forceful measures, with European Union leadership expected to discuss China-related issues at a summit in Brussels the following week 2.
