China has taken a strong step against the European Union by banning European companies from participating in big medical equipment contracts. This move increases trade tensions between Beijing and Brussels.
The Chinese government said the ban is a response to what it calls ‘discriminatory practices’ by the EU. Beijing demands that Brussels stop treating Chinese companies unfairly if it wants the ban lifted.
European firms had hoped to expand their business in China’s large medical market. However, this ban stops them from bidding on major projects, affecting future trade and cooperation.
Officials from both sides remain in talks to resolve the dispute, but so far, no agreement has been reached.
This trade conflict affects industries beyond medical equipment and could have wider economic effects in Europe and China. Experts watch closely as the situation develops.
