EU and China to hold two-day talks in Beijing aiming to avert trade war
What happened
EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic will lead two days of talks in Beijing from Thursday to try to avert a trade war with China, CNA reported.
EU and Chinese officials have been negotiating since June over Brussels’ concerns about their trade imbalance.
The EU expects tangible results from the talks by October, Sefcovic said in summer.
Beijing has threatened retaliation against EU measures targeting China, while the European Commission prepares further industry-protection tools for December.
