TREE NEWS update: China’s Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy International Trade Representative Ling Ji held video talks with EU Commission Director-General for Trade and Economic Security Sabine Weyand on October 6, the Ministry of Commerce said. The talks were held to prepare for the second regular meeting of the China-EU trade and investment consultation mechanism.

The open question is whether this consultation mechanism produces concrete outcomes or remains a talk shop — the second formal meeting will be the test.
