EU Parliament on the verge of a breakthrough: China sanctions soon to end?

Alarm in the diplomatic arena! The European Parliament is close to lifting sanctions against China. The reason? Intensive talks between Brussels and Beijing are on the home stretch, a parliamentary speaker announced on Thursday. The punitive measures were imposed in 2021 in response to alleged human rights violations in Xinjiang. But now they could soon be history! Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, is in the starting blocks: “As soon as the Chinese give the green light, we will inform the group leaders directly,” it said.

Things continue to simmer behind the scenes: visa bans and assets on ice - and not just for some EU ambassadors, but even for think tanks and researchers. Will these drastic measures also be lifted? Things remain exciting here, because so far everyone has remained silent. But China doesn't just have reason to be happy in Europe today: the clouds also seem to be disappearing overseas, as the USA's punitive tariffs on Chinese imports could possibly be reduced by half. A big victory for the dragon, who tours European capitals on a charming mission to forge alliances against Trump's tariff pressure! Further details and developments, according to watcher.guru.
