Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called for dialogue and cooperation with China during his recent visit to Beijing, emphasizing the importance of avoiding a trade war between the European Union and China. This comes as the EU considers imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, a move Sanchez believes could be detrimental to both sides. He advocates for a fair trade system and aims to negotiate solutions through the World Trade Organization.

Sanchez's discussions with Chinese leaders included reassurances against potential retaliatory tariffs from China, which could impact Spain's automotive sector. The ongoing tensions between the EU and China also stem from China's investigations into European imports, including brandy and synthetic plastics, which could affect Spain's economy. As Sanchez continues his visit to Shanghai, he plans to meet with business leaders and promote cultural ties through the inauguration of the Cervantes Institute.
