Core Viewpoint - The EU's narrative around "trade transfer" and "overcapacity" reflects its geopolitical pressures rather than purely trade issues, indicating a need to protect the legitimate rights of Chinese enterprises in the EU for broader cooperation [2][36].

EU's Anxiety Under "Trade Transfer" Narrative - The EU's frequent references to "trade transfer" stem from its geopolitical anxieties, as it finds itself in a vulnerable position amid US-China tensions, lacking sufficient strategic buffers [23][36]. - The EU is shifting its policy focus towards "security-first competitiveness," emphasizing the need for re-industrialization and enhancing its industrial capabilities in critical technologies [24][29]. - The EU's strategy includes building a sovereign industrial system in key areas such as AI, semiconductors, and clean technologies, while also addressing the competitive pressures from Chinese manufacturing [26][27]. 3.
