TREE NEWS update: China’s foreign ministry said the EU and China should meet each other halfway and resolve concerns through dialogue, after Bloomberg reported that Germany and France wrote to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urging new EU powers to strip single-market access from countries that disrupt trade. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun said the two sides’ supply chains are deeply intertwined and their economic ties are mutually beneficial, without naming China.
China Urges EU to Meet Halfway on Trade, Supply Chain Stability
AI take
The German-French push for new single-market exclusion powers marks a shift from consultation to potential leverage over supply-chain and trade disputes, and Beijing's calibrated response — dialogue, no naming — signals it wants to avoid escalation while the mechanism is still a proposal. Export-dependent sectors tied to European market access and Chinese supply chains are the ones exposed to any hardening. Whether the Commission actually takes up the powers, and whether the dialogue framing holds, is the open question.
