While China has made progress, some problems remain: a lack of transparency industrial policies and non-tariff measures that discriminate against foreign companies strong government intervention in the economy, resulting in a dominant position of state-owned firms, unequal access to subsidies and cheap financing poor protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights In 2016 the EU adopted a new strategy on China mapping out the European Union's relationship with China for the next five years. The Strategy promotes reciprocity, a level playing field and fair competition across all areas of co-operation. The strategy also includes a trade agenda with a strong focus on improving market access opportunities – including negotiations on a Comprehensive Agreement on Investment. It also deals with overcapacity and calling on China to engage with ambition at multilateral level. -------- Trump is late.

Kimmel Black https://global.handelsblatt.com/politics/trump-may-point-eu-tariffs-ifo-says-899083 “The EU is by no means the paradise for free traders that it likes to think,” said Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the ifo Center for International Economics, a division of the Munich-based ifo Institute. The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database. So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!” .... In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany.

  5. Kimmel Black Mostly automated factory still has logistics chain and cheap US oil (another input cost) makes it competitive. India is not rich in cheap oil. https://www.ft.com/content/25900f14-1564-11e8-9c33-02f893d608c2 India has increased it's tariff on Chinese products since Feb 2018 before Trump.
