flag France warns China’s cheap exports threaten EU jobs, urging tariffs or currency shift, sparking trade tensions.

flag A French government report released on February 11, 2026, warns that China’s industrial expansion is threatening Europe’s manufacturing base, with Chinese goods 30%–40% cheaper and gaining market share in autos, batteries, and other key sectors. flag The report urges the EU to consider a 30% tariff on Chinese imports or a 30% euro depreciation to counter the imbalance, citing risks to nearly 13 million European jobs. flag China has responded by warning it may launch anti-dumping probes into French wine or impose retaliatory tariffs, calling the proposal protectionist and inconsistent with WTO rules. flag Tensions are rising, though both sides face pressure from U.S. trade policies, creating a fragile but temporary alignment amid escalating trade friction.
