EU’s idea that China is caving to pressure is ‘serious misjudgment’: ex-diplomat

A former Chinese diplomat has warned that the European Union's perception of China yielding to its pressure tactics on trade is a "serious misjudgment". This is because China has shown in the past that it will not back down from a confrontation, as seen during last year's tariff war with the United States. This stance is significant because it suggests that China may not be willing to compromise on trade issues, which could impact trade agreements and global markets.

Why it matters

The EU thinks China is giving in to its trade tactics, but a former diplomat says this is a mistake. China has shown it can withstand pressure, as seen in last year's tariff disputes.
