A Chinese European escalation before the upcoming summit ... and Beijing responds to accusations

China responded strongly to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Line, after Beijing accused the trade rules and limited the entry of European enterprises to the Chinese market, in a mutual escalation that failed the upcoming summit between the two parties. “We hope that the European Union will realize that what needs to be balanced is the mentality of the European Union, not the economic relations between China and the European Union,” Chinese Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said on Wednesday. Mao also called on China and the European Union to manage differences between them through dialogue. Europe criticizes the Chinese surplus. Mao’s statements came after Von der Line said that the progress in China -Europe’s relations requires a real balance, less distortions in the market, and the decline in surplus production from China, and the provision of fair and mutual access to European companies to the Chinese market. ” Mao added that her country is “ready to expand its high -quality imports of European products that meet the needs of the Chinese market, and hope that the European Union will reduce the restrictions exported on the export of advanced technical products to China.” And she added: “The public purchase market in the European Union is far from justice and openness as it claims, as it suffers from many hidden obstacles.” Beijing Limited rare metal exports, Beijing imposed restrictions on the export of rare mineral magnets, which caused the European industries a serious blow, and increased the imbalance in trade relations between the two sides. This decision expressed the breakthrough of the breakthrough that began at the beginning of this year between China and the European Union in light of the protection policy pursued by US President Donald Trump. The European Union, consisting of 27 countries, has imposed customs duties on the importation of electric cars, claiming that Chinese enterprises are benefiting from unfair government support. Earlier in 2025, the block also excluded Chinese companies from the general tenders of medical devices, which spurred Beijing to take similar measures within the framework of the policy of reciprocity. Mao did not specify the nature of the advanced technical products it refers to, but China has never been able to buy the latest manufacturing machines for electronic chips of ASML Holding, dependent on Extreme Unv Technology (EUV). The United States, a Western coalition to combat China, worked with its allies in Europe and Asia to prevent China from reaching advanced chips and industry technologies, for fear that these technological developments will be used to promote Beijing’s military capabilities. Bloomberg reported earlier that China intends to cancel part of the scheduled summit this month with leaders of the European Union, who will be held over two days, with the possibility of changing this plan.
