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.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Effect of Lifting Restrictions on Hong Kong Home Prices
- In March, Hong Kong saw an increase in home prices for the first time in almost a year following the lifting of property restrictions, leading to a revival in sales.
- The price index for private domestic homes rose by 1.06% from the previous month of February, breaking a 10-month declining trend.
