France and Germany push 'trade bazooka' plan against Chinese exports

Original: France and Germany float 'trade bazooka' against China as the EU scrambles to confront its exports

France and Germany are proposing a so-called 'trade bazooka' — a tougher EU tool to counter Chinese exports flooding European markets. The move signals growing willingness in Brussels' two biggest capitals to escalate trade defence measures, as the bloc scrambles to protect its industries from cheap Chinese competition in sectors like electric vehicles and steel.

Why now: Rising concern in Europe over cheap Chinese exports threatening EU industries is driving debate over stronger trade defences.
