German Minister Visits China to Ease Trade Tensions Amid Rising Frictions

China has warned the European Union that proposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports could lead to a trade war, as Germany's economy minister Robert Habeck visits Beijing to address the issue. Habeck criticized Berlin's current China strategy and emphasized the need for a more cohesive European approach. The tensions have already prompted China to consider retaliatory measures, including increased tariffs on European gasoline-powered cars and a dumping probe into EU pork imports.
