Will worsening US relations with Beijing affect EU-China trade?

China has rejected a statement by the leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) outlining a shared approach to Beijing, looking at economic involvement “removing risk, not decoupling” and focusing on its human rights record and territorial claims.

China’s foreign ministry said Beijing firmly opposed the G7 joint statement and had lodged a complaint with top organizer Japan.

The United States has sought to step up pressure on Beijing as military and foreign relations with the European Union deepen amid the war between Russia and Ukraine.

So where are the US European allies and their trade links with Beijing?
