The European Union’s chief trade negotiator warned China on Monday during his trip to the nation that the bloc will be more forceful in upholding fair competition and defending its interests.
“The lack of reciprocity and level playing field from China, coupled with wider geopolitical shifts, has forced the EU to become more assertive,” said Valdis Dombrovskis, an executive vice president at the European Commission, according to prepared remarks to be read during a keynote address at Tsinghua University.
