27国要对华加税30%？法国打响第一枪，美财长一句话定义中美关系

Group 1 - France has proposed a 30% tariff on Chinese goods to address the significant trade deficit with China, suggesting that the EU should either impose these tariffs or allow the euro to depreciate by 20% to 30% against the yuan [1][3][21] - The report indicates that 55% of manufacturing output in the EU is facing direct competition from China, with Germany at 70% and France at 36%, highlighting the pressure on European industries from Chinese manufacturing [7][10] - The proposal reflects a shift in Europe’s stance from free trade to protectionism, as the continent struggles to compete with China's manufacturing capabilities, which are often 30%-40% cheaper [8][10] Group 2 - The report serves as a political maneuver by France to unify EU member states against China, but it may face resistance from countries like Germany and Hungary, which have strong economic ties with China [10][12] - The U.S. has shifted its strategy from aggressive trade wars to a more pragmatic approach, recognizing that tariffs have not effectively reduced the trade deficit with China, which reached $361 billion in 2025 [14][16] - The U.S. is now focusing on domestic manufacturing and reducing risks in key sectors while maintaining trade relations in other areas, indicating a strategic pivot rather than a complete decoupling from China [20][22]
