What happened
Chinese manufacturing firms are expanding into global markets, including Europe. European companies are increasing their sourcing from China, driven by profitability, even as concerns over economic security grow. Since 2019, eurozone imports from China have grown by approximately 50%, widening the goods trade deficit by over €150bn.
Why it matters
Chinese firms have become increasingly competitive in industries that Europe previously dominated. This heavy reliance on Chinese supply chains creates strategic vulnerability for Europe, prompting some nations to seek diversification of trade ties.
China, Europe, and Hungary are deepening ties through comprehensive partnerships, increased investment in EV and battery sectors, and developing as a logistics hub for Chinese goods.
