## Resource

The EU is racing to fix its ballooning trade deficit with China—nearly 360 billion euros last year—and is tightening defenses as U.S. market access shrinks. With China dominating rare earth supplies and EU nations divided (France pushing hard, Germany and Spain wary), Brussels is eyeing new tariffs, quotas, and supply chain diversification rules to shield European industries—while Chinese firms adapt by shifting to hybrids and sidestepping tariffs.
