## Resource

France and four other EU nations are rallying to push Brussels for tougher trade policies, targeting unfair global practices—especially China’s flood of cheap exports—that threaten European manufacturers in sectors like EVs, chemicals, and steel. With rising tensions and a record Chinese trade surplus with the EU, leaders including Macron are calling for a more assertive stance, even comparing it to U.S. trade defense tactics, and preparing to spotlight the issue at the G7 summit. The EU Commission is set to debate a new strategy next week, aiming to level the playing field and protect its industrial base from what it sees as an uneven global competition.
