EU to tighten protection against Chinese imports in State of Union address

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is expected to announce stricter measures against Chinese imports in her upcoming State of the Union address, signaling a shift toward more protectionist trade policy. The move follows similar actions by the US and reflects growing EU concerns over market access and industrial competitiveness. The exact scope and timing of the measures remain unclear, but the announcement could escalate transatlantic-style trade tensions with China.

EU Advances Protectionist Procurement Policies Targeting China

The European Commission has confirmed proposals to overhaul public procurement rules, shifting focus from lowest price to quality, sustainability, and local supply chains, explicitly aiming to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers and strengthen EU economic resilience. These measures, including the European Innovation Act, are intended to favor domestic producers and facilitate the exclusion of Chinese firms from public tenders. The final legislative form and implementation timeline remain uncertain.
