Germany has officially shifted its trade policy toward China, joining France in demanding new EU tools to restrict imports. This marks a significant change from Berlin's previous reluctance to impose tariffs, driven by a growing trade deficit and industrial pressure. While other EU members welcomed the move, they noted it came too late. Simultaneously, Moldova is pushing for accelerated EU accession, claiming it has already met several reform criteria.

EU Trade Chief Warns China Talks Stalled Ahead of Critical October Deadline

EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič admitted that months of 'tough' negotiations with China have not yet yielded a deal, despite urgent pressure from European leaders. With a €1 billion daily trade deficit driving industrial closures in Europe, Šefčovič is traveling to Beijing on October 8 for a 'super crucial' meeting with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao. The EU seeks concrete results by October 15 to present to leaders in Brussels, threatening unilateral restrictions on Chinese imports if talks fail. Key issues include curbing Chinese export surges, boosting EU exports to China, and resolving rare earth supply curbs. While China has signaled willingness to discuss these topics, it has warned against punitive measures, creating a high-stakes diplomatic standoff.

The EU and China issued a rare joint statement to set up a bilateral working group to monitor trade flows and deliver tangible results on imbalances, export controls, and IP by October, while signaling Beijing may retaliate against new curbs. The surge in demand—led by Chinese models such as Midea’s PortaSplit—highlights Europe’s dependence on affordable Chinese tech and the broader difficulty of protecting domestic industry while meeting consumer needs.
