China says EU should rebalance mindset towards trade ties

BEIJING (Reuters) -China’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that the European Union should rebalance its mindset towards the bloc’s trade ties with China.

“We hope the EU realise that what needs rebalancing at the moment is the EU’s mentality, not China-EU economic and trade relations,” Mao Ning, a ministry spokesperson, told a regular press briefing.

Mao was responding to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s remark that rebalancing the EU’s economic relations with China should be a priority.
