EU-China trade deal called a first step, not real rebalancing
Original: A first step, but no real rebalancing in the European Union’s trade deal with China
A new European Union trade deal with China is being described as a first step toward addressing longstanding trade imbalances, but analysts at the economics think tank Bruegel argue it falls short of delivering any genuine rebalancing between the two economies. The assessment suggests the agreement's practical impact on tariffs, market access or the EU's trade deficit with China remains limited, leaving core frictions between Brussels and Beijing unresolved despite the diplomatic progress.
Why now: The EU and China have just reached a trade deal, prompting debate over whether it meaningfully corrects their economic imbalance.
