Sefcovic is scheduled to meet with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao in Beijing to address differences in bilateral trade and investment. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU is engaged in a dialogue with China to rebalance the trade. With the European Union (EU) importing more from China than exporting to the latter, Brussels complains China is undercutting key European industries, for instance, competitively priced Chinese electric vehicles have gained popularity in Europe. China denies these allegations. The European Union is also pressing China to lift its export limits on minerals and metals critical to make the chips that drive AI technology -- a sector where Brussels is lagging. "We need to urgently procure and build up reserves. It will help us obtain and stockpile what we need for electric cars, for chips and batteries, for clean tech and defense, and so much more," Von der Leyen said. Europe's trade commissioner is hoping this week's talks in China will lead to a deal that he can present to the European Council.
