Chinese and EU trade officials wrapped up the second round of talks in Beijing with both sides saying they want to explore cooperation in new energy, AI, services trade, the digital economy and green low-carbon fields. China's Ministry of Commerce called the talks 'equal, professional and constructive' and said the two economies have 'huge cooperation potential' in those areas. The two sides reaffirmed their position as key trading partners and agreed to handle economic and trade differences within the WTO framework. No specific deals were announced, so the practical test is whether the shared language turns into concrete work on areas such as EV trade, battery supply chains and carbon border measures. For anyone tracking clean energy markets, this is a signal that green industrial policy remains central to China-EU relations, but the details will matter more than the joint statements.
