Europe is facing one of the most important strategic decisions in decades. As Brussels considers tougher trade measures against China, deep divisions are emerging inside the European Union itself.
Germany and Spain are warning against measures that could damage exports and investment, while France and other countries are pushing for stronger action against Chinese competition. Meanwhile, Beijing has issued a direct warning that any discriminatory restrictions will be met with retaliation.
In this GVS Deep Dive, we examine:
✔ Why the EU believes its trade relationship with China has become “unsustainable”
✔ China’s electric vehicle export boom and growing manufacturing dominance
✔ Germany’s record trade deficit with China
✔ Why BASF is investing €10 billion in China despite rising tensions
✔ The battle over telecom networks and Chinese technology
✔ How deteriorating US-EU relations are influencing Europe’s China policy
✔ Whether Europe can realistically reduce dependence on China
✔ Why Beijing sees an opportunity in Europe’s growing divisions
Is Europe preparing for economic confrontation with China, or discovering that its dependence on Chinese markets runs deeper than many policymakers expected?
