Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva cast China in a harsh light on Friday, assigning blame to Beijing, along with American and European companies, for practices that have allowed the country to pull off rapid technological advances.

Analysts say Beijing will try to exploit growing tension between the US and European countries – but say these efforts won’t lead to a fundamental shift in relations between China and the EU

Last October the EU imposed tariffs of up to 45 per cent on Chinese electric vehicles, but the move caused deep divisions in the bloc. Sánchez in September said the plan should be “reconsidered” and Spain eventually abstained in the key vote. Germany and Hungary voted against the tariffs.

China has been "doing its best" to push for negotiations with the European Union over its tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, a commerce ministry spokesperson said on Thursday, almost four months after the punitive import curbs took effect.

China's foreign ministry said on Monday that "healthy and stable" China-EU relations are needed now more than ever, after a push by the United States to initiate Ukraine peace talks with Russia without Europe threatened to rock transatlantic ties.

Beijing is projecting itself as a reliable force to help inject ‘new vitality’ into China-EU relations as transatlantic relations wobble.

Beijing is willing to work with the new German federal government to consolidate and develop the China-Germany all-round strategic partnership, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Monday. Lin was speaking at a daily news conference in Beijing in response to the preliminary results of Germany's 2025 federal election.
