If the desire is to continue to address the distortion I am sure it can be figured out, but if the political desire were to cloak the fact that European cars produced in China get a tariff reduction through the backdoor when exported to Europe it would be a different story…

This was more the art of the fold rather than the art of the deal…the U.S. had to retreat and this strengthens the hand of negotiators in Beijing. EU will likely face even more confident counterparts in China. But lots of uncertainty remains.

For Europe it means that none of the China challenges have become smaller & that the US negotiations could become harder.Focus on diversifying trade and strengthen competitiveness, enhance defense measures w/ regard to China, single market reform - we know what we have to do. We just have to do it..

Is it? „Looking ahead, President von der Leyen noted that the upcoming EU-China Summit in July WOULD be a fitting opportunity to commemorate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations.“ I would say it is hoped to be 😉

China has been de-risking its relationship from the U.S. for the past 8 years, the measures are going to hurt their economy too, but they expect to hurt Trump more. They can manage supply on agriculture and energy, they have planned for this. It comes at a cost, but not reacting was not an option.
