BREAKING: China SHOCKS EU By Imposing Tarrifs On French Cognac…What Is Happening?
China just fired back at the EU with surprise tariffs on French cognac, setting the stage for a tense trade battle!

An examination of patent filings in advanced technologies shows the EU is a very small player comparatively.
I think your argument would be valid if Europe acted independently… Europe started acting against China because AMERICA told them to. Surely you know that !!! 😩
Karma is a dish best serve cold like an eskimo. The europeans been doing these same things to the rest of the world when it suits them. Reap what you sow EU
EU's lies and bullshits on "subsidies"! EU subsidies all investments, agriculture, on and on! Hypocrisy
The West wants China not to fight back, just bends over and take it.
Great move China 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Don't worry. People in the "Bible Belt" in the US will buy it…
Hey… Wait a sec… Hmmmm…
As a Chinese, we have give up hope on European Country. No matter got tariffs or not. We are very sure, those EU Luxury product like Wine, Car, Handbag, Watch, Cosmetic & many other will be out of China market within next few year.
Amazing thing is France knew it will happened and they still went and cast the affirmative vote to impose tariff on Chinese EV against WTO rules.
Is that being smart or acting stupid? 🤔
Which country's do not subsidize its industry. The US subsidise heavily on its chips industry. Stop being s hypocrite
EU will get what they deserve.
Tit for tat. What did the EU expect?
Its everthing what EU wants and never what China wants. You call this trading? As for subsidies, US and EU also provide big subsidies and big tax cuts to their own big corporations, how come China cannot do that too?
This is an EU propaganda video!
EU success tariff is the answer to failure. Congratulations. 🇪🇺👍
The effect will be similar to sanctions against Russia. The EU sanctioned itself. EU policy idiots destroy the EU rather than Chinese and Russia
China looks weak they should ban Airbus and all french wines
Chinese should boycott all french cognac and dairy products and Italian fashion wear and luxury items
EU has no advanced technologies, (GPS, AI chips, advanced materials, EV batteries, hi speed rail, 5G…….)
It may started on dairy but it will end in EU auto industry.
Liquor is bad for health.
France agreed EU to increase tariffs on China EV cars. So Chinese should BOYCOTT all French products.
Drinking alcohol is bad for one’s health. Don’t think the Chinese need LV bags and Chanel No. 5 to survive either.
Drink normal Beer 👍
European wines,luxury bags can be sold when Chinese public have positive public images on Europeans, Chinese people would love exotic stuff when Europeans are friendly,but if the Europeans become hostile the story will be different.Tariffs will not boost luxury sales,buying luxury stuff from hostile countries doesn't give you the satisfaction anymore no matters the price drop or rise ,it makes you a traitor.Once the trade war begins there will be more boycott on European products,and the market will soon be taken by local Chinese companies or other friendly countries' companies,and it will be extremely hard for these European companies to take back the lost market.
Chinese tariff or tax on cognac alone may not be enough to compensate for the higher EU tariffs on chinese EVs. And why other EU members did not get hit by the chinese tariff burdens? Should the Dutch cheese be subjected to chinese tariff also?..
the eu. people because they will have a lot of brandy to drink very lucky people.maybe china is de coupleing from europe the global south brics. are lucky they will have the chinese market lucky people
