EU urges China to open up to European firms
By EUobserver
China must do more to let EU firms compete with Chinese ones, EU leaders said after their summit in Brussels on Friday. "If the Chinese side gives no market access in certain areas, that will naturally mean that access to the European market will also be more restricted," German chancellor Angela Merkel added. Leaders also voiced "serious concern" about Chinese human rights abuses against Uighur minorities and Hong Kong protestors.
