China opens anti-dumping probe into EU ahead of trade talks
Original: China opens anti-dumping probe into EU days before Beijing trade talks
China has launched an anti-dumping investigation into the European Union, timed just days before scheduled trade talks in Beijing. The move is widely read as a pressure tactic ahead of the negotiations, adding friction to already strained trade relations between Brussels and Beijing over tariffs, market access and industrial policy.
Why now: The timing of the probe just before high-stakes trade talks makes it a significant escalation that could shape the negotiations.
