EU-China Trade
Consumers may face higher energy costs due to restricted supply chains and delayed renewable energy projects. Technology prices could increase as EU-based alternatives replace Chinese components. Long-term energy transition timelines may extend, affecting climate goals and household energy bills.
EU implementing technology decoupling strategy from China, establishing precedent for sectoral restrictions based on national security. Potential retaliatory measures from China (€367.8B cost warning cited). May accelerate EU domestic semiconductor and renewable manufacturing investment. Could trigger WTO disputes and reshape global supply chains.
