China takes aim at EU’s planes and farmers as trade war brews

China’s Commerce Ministry has sent a letter to the EU trade chief to express annoyance at recent trade probes and calling for a reset.

Beijing is warning the European Union it will hit its aviation and agricultural sectors unless Brussels pulls back from an impending trade war.

With the European Commission expected to slap tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in the coming days, the Chinese Commerce Ministry has sent a five-page letter to EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis calling for a reset, according to a person with direct knowledge of the file.

A spokesperson for the European Commission confirmed to POLITICO that Dombrovskis had received the letter. “We are working on a reply,” the spokesperson added.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The letter, according to the person briefed, makes clear Beijing is annoyed with the increased pace of trade investigations launched by the EU executive in recent months, and calls for a truce to avoid further escalation.

The most serious aviation measures would likely target Airbus, the European aircraft manufacturer that is the largest supplier to the Chinese market.

Beijing has threatened to target Airbus in the past, most notoriously saying it would not buy its planes if China’s airlines were to fall under EU carbon emission trading rules.

In response to the investigation into subsidies of Chinese electric vehicles, Beijing in January launched an anti-dumping probe against European producers of liquor — hitting France specifically.

French cognac producers fear that they will be the target of Beijing’s ire once the EU executive officially announces the electric vehicle tariffs.

Just last week, China announced new sanctions on U.S. aerospace giant Boeing, on the grounds that it was selling weapons to Taiwan, which Beijing considers as a breakaway province.
