China has been an economic problem for Europe for many years. Now it can be an economic disaster.

A large number of artificially cheap goods – heavy subsidized electric vehicles, consumer electronics, toys, commercial commercial rate steel and more – most of this trade is designed for the latest, American market.

Thanks to the President Trump, the fear of these goods, which look at the wall of the extraordinary tariffs, will increase the local industry in France, Germany, Italy and the European Union.

These nations now trapped in the middle of Mr. Trump Trade War with China. Their leaders hope not to be pledge damage, and they are delivering a thin line between surrender and confrontation.

“It took the problem for a long time, but finally came to the European capitals,” said Liana Fix, a friend in Washington in Washington. “In these periods, there is a common trend and a feeling in Europe, and Europe must stand up and protect himself.”

President of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leien promised to attract “constructively” as he warned about “constructively”has an indirect effect“He promised to closely monitor the influx of American tariffs and Chinese goods. New The task forces will follow Import for direct signs.

“We cannot adopt the global bridge or we will not accept the jump on our market,” said Mr. Von Der Leyen, Mr. Trump’s tariffs came into force.

He was amazed by his tough and measured message to China and the United States, trading specialists who could have the best chance for Europe to prevent economic disaster. The director of the Asian program in the Council of Europe Janka Oertel called the “sober” answer to Beijing threat.

“They continue to stand in their place to China, because otherwise they lose it,” he said.

However, high stakes test the unity of the continent.

Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, went to Beijing, who said that last week was a hedge with Beijing, Beijing and China with China. His spread, visually caught A hand with Chinese leader, even Ms. Von Der Leyen and the European Commission’s leadership, the unit’s executive department, the unit’s executive department continues to require peace to prevent the Father’s acceleration.

Germany last year on the contrary High electric vehicle tariffs implemented by the European Union is afraid to raise China in its automotive industry. In the UK, not a member of the bloc, but Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for “consistent, sustainable, sustainable, respected” relations with China to start skipping the slow economy of his country.

“In the worst case, the highest tariffs of the United States, the Chinese market is flooded,” he said. He said, “It will be a double whip for the European industry. This is what he wants to prevent Europe.”

Leaders who are part of closer relations with China, Mr. Sánchez and Mr. Starmer, they found that they were a political winner of their countries at a time.

In the end, an announcement of a new Chinese factory that creates thousands of jobs is popular at home. However, sometimes this enthusiasm can threaten the consistent, successful European message.

“Spain is doing more than Poland.” “There are a dispute to what will happen to China in Europe.”

However, trade experts say the economic relations between Europe and China are rooted in decades in years: regulatory loads and a Chinese market that is effectively connected to many European companies The support of Chinese companies.

The latest conversations between the best European commissions and Chinese counterparts contain sharp warnings from Europe.

“EU-China trade relations remain unbalanced,” the European Commission, the Commissioner of the Block Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said in a statement Beijing visited to discuss market access. The visit pointed out the tension during the visit, China and Europe said the “illegal subsidies” trade deficit.

European officials have been to voluntary restrictions and charges of European institutions have been unfair to transport cheap goods for years for years.

Meanwhile, Chinese officials have long been able to paint Europe as a closer trade partner in recent days. After his visit to Beijing, Mr Sefjovic, after his visit to Beijing, told little about the harsh conversation. Froze said Mr. Sefjovic described China as a “important partner” and will “resist the combination of combination and protectionism of the two economies.”

After Mr. Trump’s April 2 Tariff announcement, the Chinese Ministry of Trade said it was agreed to restart the talks The block is higher tariffs in the Chinese-made electric vehicles in Europe.

When asked about this announcement, European officials scored a more silent tone. An EU representative Olof Gill for trade, said they agreed to “continue discussions” on the supply chains of the authorities and adopt the “fresh look”.

China’s push has sometimes been more. China’s Mission to the European Union is a number of sponsorships that sponsor a number of sponsorships on a source of source in Brussels in Brussels. The articles are how China is and Europe may approach each other. “A hurricane blowing from Washington looks like a strategic partner for China Europe,” one announced.

So far, the European Union is a little show to hug this – instead, instead, pushing him to prevent the United States to gain an agreement to prevent the fall in case.

This year, an EU-China summit will be potentially in the second half of this year.

“I think it’s mainly hoping for Europe to be in the summer with the lack of intact, more or less and the economy,” he said. “To sort the plane until the spring, then to get ready for the next things.”
