Von der Leyen Says EU Ready to Act on China Rare-Earth Threat
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Brussels is considering all options to react to Chinaโs rare-earth threat.
1/ As Trump goes to Asia, EU leaders threaten to take action on China. Rare earth restrictions may have finally brought the EU out of its slumber. At the same time, Europe pushing for greater free trade agreements with the rest of the world. Will action match words?

This sense of realism and urgency is also driven by an underlying and fundamental reshaping of the world economy. We are in the middle of a systemic shift in how countries work with each other โ and against each other. Every day, we see how the tools of traditional statecraft are being used to weaponize interdependencies and leverage alliances. To create chokeholds on countries and industries. To exert control and impose coercion on others.

Nokia & Ericsson get squeezed out of the few crumbs they still had on Chinese market.
All the while, Huawei & ZTE have retained 30 to 35 per cent of the European mobile infrastructure market. Huawei 50%+ of German 5G access network.

New tools: How the EU can show China it means business
Chinese policymakers are well used to ignoring European objections to decisions made in Beijing. With a new array of tools, the EU could finally cause them to think differently.
Catch up on the latest on EU-China relations ahead of tomorrow's BRICS Summit from Alicja Bachulska.
The EU needs to make clear to China that it is willing to use an array of tools, should China not agree to pare back its market dominance and economic coercion in Europe.
