Chinese Premier #LiKeqiang has offered an olive branch to the #EuropeanUnion by saying Beijing will not undermine the bloc’s interests if it reaches a #tradedeal with the #UnitedStates. The #EU, China’s largest trading partner, released a paper on Tuesday which for the first time labelled China an 'economic competitor' and 'a systemic rival promoting alternative models of governance'.

Li admitted that there were frictions between #China and the EU but called for deepening of mutual trust to solve the new issues, adding: 'We are now discussing an investment agreement that’s reciprocal and fair to both sides.' China has been pushing Brussels to join it to defend #freetrade and a multilateral approach against increasing US protectionism, but the EU is worried that Beijing might drop this as the price of doing a deal to end the #tradewar with the #US. The bloc is also concerned that China might strike a deal that involves it agreeing to buy more goods from the US without addressing issues such as 'unfair' state subsidies for industry or giving greater market access to foreign firms

A plunge in #US soybean exports to #China has been partly offset by a surge in sales to #Europe as trade patterns shift during the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. China is the world’s largest importer of #soybeans, with foreign purchases accounting for nearly 90% of its consumption of a product widely used as livestock feed. #Brazil has traditionally been China’s largest supplier, followed by the U.S. But American exports have fallen sharply since last July after Beijing imposed a 25% tariff in response to similar U.S. duties on a wide range of Chinese imports.

While U.S. soybean exports to China have plunged, some of the lost sales have been offset by surging demand from the #EuropeanUnion (EU), according to the USDA. #EU purchases of U.S. soybeans had already begun to rise as early as April last year, and for the 12 months through the end of February reached 9 million tons - a level not seen since 1995.

President Donald #Trump said Thursday (Mar 14) the #US will probably know in the next 3 or 4 weeks about a possible trade deal with #China. The president remarked that China has been 'very responsible and very reasonable.' Last month, the #Trumpadministration postponed imposing an additional round of tariffs on Chinese goods. Secretary of State #MikePompeo said earlier this month the U.S. and China were "on the cusp" of a possible deal. On Wednesday, Trump said he was in 'no rush' to complete a trade deal with Beijing.
