European Parliament to vote on freezing China investment deal
The European Parliament is expected to pass a motion on Thursday pushing to formally freeze the EU’s investment agreement with China, in the wake of what MEPs describe as Beijing’s “baseless and arbitrary” sanctions on EU lawmakers earlier this year.
The draft motion, seen by POLITICO, will also call on the EU to step up coordination with the US to deal with China, while stressing that any trade deals with Taiwan “should not be held hostage” by the deal with Beijing.
