Bloomberg reported Germany and France wrote to European Commission president von der Leyen urging new EU powers to revoke single-market access for countries that disrupt trade and to set mechanisms reducing dependence across multiple supply chains; the letter did not name China and the EU is reportedly reviewing its trade relationship with China. Asked whether this would affect European Commission vice‑president Sefcovic’s visit to China later this week, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said China-EU supply chains are deeply integrated and interdependent, bilateral economic ties are mutually beneficial, and urged the EU to resolve concerns through dialogue, jointly safeguard global supply-chain stability, and promote healthy, stable China-EU trade; he referred specific questions to relevant Chinese authorities.
