China and Europe are holding intensive trade negotiations. The lack of sincerity from the EU may lead to a sharp increase in economic and trade frictions between China and Europe On June 26th, according to Global Times, the China Europe team held intensive consultations this week to discuss economic and trade issues between China and Europe, preparing for the first meeting of the China Europe Trade and Investment Consultation Mechanism. It is understood that the EU clearly lacks sincerity in negotiations, and is even preparing to engage in both talks and negotiations, brewing the introduction of more protectionist measures intensively. It is worrying that a trade war between China and Europe may erupt at any moment. It is reported that China has been committed to consultations and dialogues with Europe, but is also prepared to take resolute and necessary countermeasures at any time. In this context, the situation of China Europe economic and trade relations seems to be becoming more complex, and the economic and trade differences between China and Europe may further escalate. What is even more worrying is that the EU has revealed that bilateral negotiations will not affect the EU's use of existing economic and trade tools, as well as its plans to develop new tools. This means that the continued escalation of economic and trade frictions between China and Europe seems inevitable in the future.
