MOFCOM said it had noted reports that France and Germany urged the EU to bolster trade‑defence and other protectionist measures. China warned mutual dependence is not a risk and said openness and cooperation, not protectionism or decoupling, are the right path; protectionism undermines competitiveness and decoupling harms all sides.

Since early 2026 the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) says Chinese market regulators have carried out 11,661 technical-assistance actions for food sampling inspection, verification and handling. Assistance covered 8,638 food firms; 4,927 assisted firms were tracked with follow-up sampling, and 4,713 showed no further non-compliant results, an effectiveness rate of 95.66%. SAMR said it will guide local regulators to embed technical assistance in sampling follow-up, concentrate support on firms and regions with frequent sampling failures, precisely diagnose causes and push process and management fixes to promote higher-quality development of the food industry.
