- EU plans to broaden import quotas and increase tariffs on Chinese goods, according to the Financial Times.
- China accuses the EU of “cherry‑picking” to justify trade curbs and warns it will respond, as reported by Reuters.
- Financial Times editorial argues that Europe must adopt tariffs to protect its industries.
