EU to China: your ‘impressive rise’ must not crush our industries

The EU’s trade chief, Maros Sefcovic, is calling out China for its rapid economic growth, saying it shouldn’t hurt European industries in the process. He’s pushing China to ease up on rare earth export controls and address trade imbalances, arguing that Beijing needs to back up its talk of fair global trade with action. This comes after high-level talks between EU and Chinese officials.
