Hold onto your hats, world traders! 🌍 The Chinese mainland just called on the EU to sort out their trade differences through good old‐fashioned dialogue, focusing on those hot‐button rare earths controls.
Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the comments at a regular press briefing, reacting to an EU Commission official’s preview of emergency talks in Brussels about export limits on rare earths.
Guo reminded everyone that the China-EU economic and trade relationship is complementary and mutually beneficial. He hopes the European side will stand by its commitment to free trade, oppose protectionism, and give businesses a fair, transparent, non-discriminatory environment. 🤝
He also stressed the need to uphold market economy principles and the rules of the World Trade Organization, solving trade disputes properly through dialogue and consultation rather than clashes. 🗣️📝
These emergency talks in Brussels could be a game-changer for industries relying on rare earths – from your smartphone’s batteries to green tech gadgets. Keep your eyes peeled for updates! ⚡📱
