China opens anti-dumping probe into EU days before Beijing trade talks
AI Summary
China has opened an anti-dumping investigation into the European Union shortly before trade talks in Beijing. The move comes amid rising trade tensions, as Brussels increases its own investigations and warns it may take tougher measures if China does not make concrete offers.
Running a €1 billion-a-day deficit with China, Brussels has nearly tripled the rate of its own trade investigations and is warning of "harsher measures" unless Beijing offers something concrete.
