The EU ambassador in Beijing does not expect Trump’s return as POTUS to put an end to rivalries with China. Jorge Toledo does not expect Europe’s view of China as a partner, economic competitor, and systemic rival to change, he said in a speech at the China Global Think Tank Innovation Forum. There have recently been suggestions that Trump could bring the bloc closer to China by imposing tariffs on the EU. „Whatever happens in the White House does not mean that our unfair trade and investment relationships will change by themselves,“ Toledo said.
