Group 1 - Macron's visit to China initially showcased cooperation in nuclear energy and renewable sectors, but his tone shifted to a hardline stance upon returning to France, criticizing the trade deficit and threatening tariffs [1] - France's trade deficit with China reached $10.6 billion in the first ten months of 2025, surpassing the total for 2024, highlighting the imbalance in trade where China exports high-value products while France mainly exports traditional goods [1][2] - A report from CEPII indicates that Chinese manufacturing is surpassing Europe in high-end sectors, placing European industry on the brink of crisis [1] Group 2 - Macron's political pressure stems from domestic manufacturing decline and high unemployment, leading him to adopt a tough stance on China to appease voters and assert influence within the EU [2] - The notion of "trade imbalance" is contested, with data showing that nearly 40% of exports from European companies in China return to Europe, indicating that the profits are primarily retained by European firms [2] - The EU's trade policy requires consensus among its 27 member states, and Germany, with a trade volume with China exceeding $200 billion, may oppose Macron's tariff threats, complicating the situation [4][5] Group 3 - Previous attempts by the EU to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles demonstrated that tariffs do not resolve structural issues, as China's complete industrial chain and technological strength are not easily undermined by trade protection measures [7] - Macron's linkage of European technology export restrictions to China's rare earth exports is viewed as flawed logic, as these resources are essential for Europe's industrial upgrades [7]
