China wants to hunt Europe from the waters of Trump's fees

Chinese President Xi Jinping is trying to reform the relationship with the European Union, as his country offers as the most reliable partner, at a time when US President Donald Trump is tensioning with European block due to issues ranging from customs duties to defense. In light of a trade like the United States, decision makers and business leaders in China want to look for new markets in Europe and abroad. To help cast relations, XI prepares to uplift the sanctions for a number of members of the European Parliament, according to a European official, a gesture of good faith, but it is largely symbolic through its poor impact. “As one of the largest economies of the world, China and Europe will protect the multilateral regime together,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday. The ministry added that it welcomed that more members of the European Parliament visited China, without addressing the reports indicating the upliftment of sanctions. Europe has rejected Beijing’s support for Russia, while leaders in Europe are still strongly opposed to Beijing’s support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, because they have expressed their willingness to go forward on some issues. European Union officials are considering setting up minimum price shares on Chinese electric cars, instead of customs duties reaching 45.3%, which were imposed last year due to complaints about the abundance of export. This step will help end the long -term dispute, which has seen that Beijing’s fees have been imposed on French cognac. The completion of this process was also postponed for a three -month period, which reduced the pressure on the producers. At the Shanghai Motor Show this week, and with the withdrawal of exporters across the country from the US market, Chinese executives offered their investment plans in Europe, and they also called on Europeans to follow a more pragmatic approach to resolving conflicts, and asked to move forward in closer collaboration. “From an ideal point of view, Beijing wants to isolate Europe from the United States and make it a natural shield for its pursuit,” said Rana Miter, head of US -Asian -American relationship division to Harvard Kennedy College, adding: ” reliable commercial partner. ” Europe is a hindrance among the world’s largest economies for years, Europe has shown an obstacle between the largest economies in the world, but the European Union positions against Beijing have worsened after the Corona virus spread a set of diplomatic differences. It has largely seen the unification of European leaders with Washington over “Reducing China’s risks about their economy, and the flow of cheap exports that have threatened jobs, Trump has weakened this alliance by setting up a 20% customs tariff on Europe – is now reducing to 10% – and its claim that the European Union Union. Leaders have not made progress on an attempt to overcome disputes with Trump, despite the European Union offered to cancel all rates on industrial goods on both sides. Earlier this month, Sanchez visited President XI, which promised more cooperation. The officials decided to violate the protocol after it was reported that she refused to travel to Europe to attend the talks, which are usually attended by the prime minister from outside the country. One of the possible pursuit, if the summit succeeds, is to revive an investment agreement that has negotiated officials for seven years, although it is likely to be a long -term goal. Brussels canceled this agreement in the last minute of 2021, after China responded to Western sanctions imposed on human rights practices in the Xinjiang region by announcing measures against 10 individuals and four entities from Europe. Cecilia Malmstrom, the former European Commissioner for Trade, and the current visiting colleague at the Peterson Institute for International Economy, wrote earlier this month: “If Beijing sanctioned, I think there will be willing to ratify the agreement and partially increase the trade.” The investment agreement was seen as proof of Europe’s independence from the United States, and China’s ability to cooperate with America’s allies who used a more moderate approach. For the European Union, which includes 27 countries, the agreement will expand access to the Chinese market, while Beijing provides some protection against the hard position against Chinese investment in Europe. Since then, trade relations with the European Union have changed significantly that the agreement will be difficult to implement, “according to Wang Yii, a professor of international relations at the University of Renmin. Earlier this month, commission, in a telephone conversation with the president of the Lee Qiang State Council, said that the two parties should conduct a high level over economic, commercial, environmental and digital collaboration as soon as possible. The effect of Trump’s fees on Chinese goods, but Trump’s customs duties arouse the fear of the possibility of converting Chinese goods for the United States to the European Union. In a memo on Tuesday, Stephen Jin and Joanna Freiri, the two strategic experts at the Eurizon Company, wrote that the ‘realistic’ assumption is that a third of the goods traveling to the United States is directed. This will increase the Surplus of China by the European Union by 70%, to amount to about $ 420 billion. A report released this month by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China has called on Beijing to review its industrial policy to avoid more negative reactions. “Today, we are in a situation that requires China to seriously reconsider the way it deals with the rest of the world,” said Yans Escletond, president of the room, “Industrial policy needs to be changed.” Despite the excellent differences, both China and Europe have strong incentives to achieve some kind of solution for their commercial issues related to electric vehicles, says Eilaria Mazuku, a prominent colleague in the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She added that “the fact that the Europeans are eager for this summit and traveling to Beijing to attend, tells me that they really hope to resolve this issue somehow.”
