EU commissioners are convening to address concerns over increasing imports from China, which have been labeled as 'China Shock 2.0'. This phenomenon is reminiscent of the economic challenges faced by US rust belt towns two decades ago. The discussions will involve representatives from all 27 member states, who will share examples of how Chinese practices impact various sectors, including trade, agriculture, and health.

They emphasize the importance of balancing a tough stance with continued engagement with China, given its significance as a market for European goods. Furthermore, there are concerns that reliance on Chinese components could undermine EU manufacturing, necessitating a strategic response.
