Quick Glance: EU Raises Stakes With Chinese Medical-Device Probe
- The EU launched a probe into Chinese medical-device procurement, prompted by concerns that the government in Beijing unfairly favors domestic suppliers, risking tensions ahead of Xi Jinping's upcoming visit.
- The investigation will collect information from companies and member states and must be concluded within nine months. If it confirms a lack of reciprocity, the EU could restrict Chinese access to its tenders.
- This move follows a decision last year to begin an anti-subsidy probe into electric vehicles made in China, potentially leading to new tariffs by July.
- Chinese leaders have rebutted European and US criticism of market distortion in favor of domestic firms, but doubts persist regarding Beijing's extensive use of public support.
