The EU has opened a slew of competition probes targeting China in recent months.

Ms Von der Leyen’s European Commission, the European Union’s authority on trade issues, has opened a slew of competition probes targeting China in recent months.

She added that, previously with Mr Xi, “I have made clear that the current imbalances in market access are not sustainable and need to be addressed”.Beijing has reacted furiously to the most recent investigation, into suspected inequitable access to China’s medical devices market, calling it a sign of EU “protectionism”.

“We have been very clear-eyed about our relationship with China, which is one of the most complex, but also one of the most important,” the commission president said.
