BRUSSELS: China last year overtook the United States as the EU's biggest trading partner, the EU statistics agency Eurostat said on Monday (Feb 15).

Britain meanwhile, which is no longer part of the European Union, was the third-largest trading partner for the bloc, behind China and the United States, the agency said.The supremacy of China came after it suffered from the coronavirus pandemic during the first quarter but recovered vigorously with consumption even exceeding its level of a year ago at the end of 2020.

The dethroning of the US comes as the EU and China are seeking to ratify a long-negotiated investment deal that would give European companies better access to the Chinese market. EU exports to the United States fell by 13.2 per cent in the same period and imports by 8.2 per cent.
