TREE NEWS update: China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao met with Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, and said Beijing and Brussels have held two trade and investment consultation meetings this year with substantial results. Wang said the two sides have the will and ability to resolve trade concerns through dialogue, while noting the EU’s recent push for a series of trade restriction tools, which he said negatively affects China-EU supply chain stability and business cooperation.

The emphasis on dialogue comes alongside a pointed reference to the EU's new trade restriction instruments, which suggests Beijing is trying to keep the consultation channel warm while flagging where it sees friction building. For companies operating across China-EU supply chains, the signal is that political risk is now being managed through trade-defense tooling rather than resolved at the negotiating table. Whether the consultation track produces anything concrete on those restrictions is the open question.
