EU-China trade relations are already managed through a dense set of political, economic and sectoral dialogues. Current disputes span electric vehicles, medical devices, export controls, industrial subsidies, access to public contracts and the security of critical supply chains. The EU-China Summit sets broad political direction; the High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HLED) covers economy, finance, trade and investment; and sectoral dialogues address individual files. What remains less developed is a regular ministerial platform that coordinates several enforcement-related files, combines them with joint monitoring and links technical work back to political oversight.
