Core Viewpoint - The recent anti-dumping tax measures imposed by China on EU pork products should be understood within the broader context of the significant economic cooperation between China and the EU, which cannot be easily disrupted by tariff disputes [1] Group 1: Anti-Dumping Measures - In June 2024, the China Animal Husbandry Association formally accused EU pork products of dumping, leading to a six-month investigation [3] - On December 17, 2025, China announced anti-dumping duties ranging from 4.9% to 9.8% on EU pork and pork by-products for five years, aligning with China's anti-dumping regulations and WTO rules [3] - The announcement aimed to protect the domestic livestock industry from the impact of low-priced EU pork, which has caused operational difficulties for many local farmers [3] Group 2: Reactions from the EU - The announcement caused a stir within the EU, with countries like Spain relieved by the lower-than-expected tax rate, while Denmark expressed dissatisfaction over the perceived high rate [3] - French President Macron's response highlighted a contradiction; while advocating for cooperation with China, he also suggested that Europe might adopt more protectionist measures against China [4] - Macron's claims of a €300 billion trade surplus with China were challenged by data showing a 27% decrease in the EU's trade deficit with China since 2022 [4] Group 3: European Trade Policy - Despite initiating multiple trade investigations and imposing restrictions on Chinese companies, these measures have not effectively enhanced European competitiveness, revealing underlying weaknesses in innovation and productivity [5] - Macron acknowledged that the urgent task for Europe is to improve its competitiveness rather than impose restrictions on Chinese goods [5] Group 4: Future Negotiations - China's anti-dumping tax measures maintain a balance between protecting domestic industries and leaving room for future negotiations, contrasting with the EU's unilateral investigations [7] - The dual stance of Macron reflects Europe's dilemma in its relationship with China, as it seeks to pressure China for increased investment while relying on the Chinese market [7] - The decline in EU pork exports to China indicates that the tariff adjustments will not fundamentally alter the trade dynamics between China and the EU [7] Group 5: Long-term Cooperation - By lowering the final tax rate, China has signaled a willingness to manage differences through negotiation, emphasizing the importance of long-term cooperation over short-term disputes [9] - The cooperative agreements reached during Macron's visit to China in areas like nuclear energy and agriculture are deemed more valuable than the ongoing pork trade friction [9]
