Xi Urges EU to Unite Against US Tariffs Amid Trade Tensions

During a meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged the European Union to unite with China against what he termed 'unilateral bullying' from the United States, specifically referencing US tariffs imposed by President Trump. Xi emphasized the importance of deeper cooperation between China and Europe to address the ongoing trade tensions that have arisen due to US policies. Sanchez acknowledged the significant trade deficit Spain has with China but stressed that trade tensions should not hinder the potential for economic growth between China and the EU. He highlighted the need for a reevaluation of the EU's trade stance, particularly regarding proposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This call for collaboration comes as global markets react to instability caused by the US's changing tariff strategies. Both leaders expressed a commitment to safeguarding international fairness and justice amidst the evolving trade landscape.
