China Says EU Trade Freeze Can Be Weathered, CCTV Account Claims

China asserts it can endure a further deterioration or even a freeze in EU trade, via a CCTV-affiliated account that argues the EU altered tactics after an EV-subsidy probe and is weakening its normative power. EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic plans talks with Chinese minister Wang Wentao in Brussels amid a roughly €360 billion trade gap and concerns over subsidized Chinese imports, while China says firms are deprioritizing Europe even as investments in NEVs and automotive continue—leaving the outlook for deeper cooperation uncertain if the EU keeps a hard line.
