Donald Trump, the attack on the "tariff bomb" of the US administration, is trying to build a common front in Europe by engaging in a trade war with the states -United. Both sides have the same understanding of the need to address US trade barriers, but it seems difficult to overcome the fundamental difference in the political and economic system.
The Delegation of the European Union (EU) led by the EU Delegation and Chancellor Jean-Claude Juncker, Chairman of the EU Executive Committee, held an annual summit with the Prime Minister Chinese Communist Party of China at the People's Congress in Beijing. At the press conference after the talks, Lee reaffirmed the fundamental position of China and the European Union that "it supports free trade and multilateralism". European Union leaders will also meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao in the afternoon.
Both sides reaffirmed their willingness to negotiate in the joint declaration adopted today and pledged mutual cooperation. China, in the midst of a trade war with the United States, hopes to create a "China-Europe common front" through free trade. Europe is also in a trade war after the US imposed high tariffs on steel and aluminum products from Europe and fought back against them. "I think I'm the enemy when I see what the European Union is doing to us in trade," Trump said in a television interview on the 15th. "I attacked Europe .
At this summit, China is committed to cooperating with the reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO) of the European Union. Both sides agreed to form a corps of vice-president in the future and discuss reform work. China and the European Union argue that trade disputes between countries should be addressed within the framework of the World Trade Organization, but the Trump administration claims that China's "unfair trade" is too important for the WTO.
However, the European Union has maintained its position that there is a problem with China's trade policy and has stayed away from China for some time. "We need new rules on industrial subsidies, intellectual property rights, forced technology transfer, reduced trade costs, new development strategies and effective dispute resolution," Tusk said. of a press conference. This is a problem with the Chinese industrial policy that has been raised by Europe in the past, and this corresponds to the point where the Trump administration is attacking. It is also a great possibility that China and Europe will meet in the future discussion on the reform of the WTO. "The European Union will not combine with China to fight the United States," said Lucca Zahier, head of the European Economic and Social Council, an advisory body of the European Union, in an interview granted to the media.
However, the badysis is based on the fact that only the adoption of the joint statement at the talks gave some performance. In 2016 and 2017 – at the European summit, China has failed to reduce its vision of overcapacity and its market economy status.
