Following the EU's imposition of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, China has launched an anti-dumping investigation into EU pork and pork by-products, with a conclusion expected by mid-2025. The EU, a major pork exporter to China, remains unconcerned and committed to WTO compliance. In response to the trade tensions, China is exploring alternative pork suppliers from South America and Russia and is considering further investigations into EU dairy products and brandy. German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck plans to visit South Korea and China to discuss the EU's tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and seek amicable resolutions.
