OREANDA-NEWS  After the authorities of the European Union got China to agree to limit the supply of cars to the EU market, Brussels thought about taking the same measures with other types of Chinese imports. This was reported by Bloomberg.

However, it is assumed that this could lead to the next round of trade conflict between the two economic giants. The agreement on cars was a well-thought-out one-time concession for Beijing. He sacrificed only a tiny fraction of his annual exports to the EU, which exceed $560 billion. However, if Brussels continues to push its luck, China will have no choice but to launch a counteroffensive.

Meanwhile, the EU has already made it clear that hybrid cars are only the first item on its list. For example, Germany wants similar restrictions to apply to products from the Chinese chemical industry, mechanical engineering and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the EU authorities are going to protect local manufacturers of scooters and furniture from competitors from China.
