China Responds to EU Ban with Restrictions on Medical Device Imports
Taarek Refaat In an escalating trade dispute, China has announced new restrictions on the purchase of medical devices from the European Union, signaling a retaliatory move against EU sanctions imposed last month. The new measures, which will impact government purchases of medical devices valued at over 45 million yuan (approximately $6.3 million), come amid heightened tensions between the two economic giants. The Chinese Ministry of Finance made the announcement on Sunday, confirming that these restrictions would apply to the import of medical devices, including those with over 50% European-made components. The move follows the European Commission's decision in June to block Chinese companies from participating in public tenders for medical equipment worth nearly €60 billion ($70 billion) annually. The EU's ban on Chinese companies, implemented through the EU's international procurement mechanism which took effect in 2022, was designed to promote reciprocal access to markets. This mechanism aims to ensure that the European Union enjoys equal access to foreign public procurement markets, particularly with countries that impose restrictions on EU businesses. At the heart of this policy shift was the desire for fairness in international trade, a sentiment echoed by European officials at the time. However, the move quickly drew ire from Beijing, which saw it as a violation of the principles of open market access. In a separate statement, China's Ministry of Commerce expressed regret over the escalating conflict, stating, 'Despite China's goodwill and flexibility, the European Union insisted on imposing new restrictions and erecting protective barriers.' The ministry also emphasized that the Chinese government had 'no choice but to adopt similar measures in retaliation.' China's response underscores the growing economic rivalry between the two entities, as trade disputes between them intensify. This marks the latest in a series of retaliatory measures that Beijing has taken against European sanctions, particularly in the wake of EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. The Chinese Ministry of Finance further elaborated on the scope of the new restrictions, revealing that they would extend to medical devices imported from other countries, provided that more than 50% of their components are of European origin. The new regulations are set to take effect immediately. However, Beijing clarified that medical products manufactured by European companies within China would be exempt from these measures, reflecting China's ongoing efforts to balance trade retaliation with its role as a global manufacturing hub. In a parallel move, China imposed additional tariffs of up to 34.9% on European brandy, particularly targeting French cognac, for a period of five years. This action is widely seen as another retaliatory gesture in response to the EU's electric vehicle tariffs. However, several major European liquor companies, including Pernod Ricard, LVMH, and Rémy Cointreau, have managed to avoid these tariffs by agreeing to sell their products at undisclosed lower prices, according to Chinese authorities. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Egypt's PM Rejects Gaza Displacement Plans at BRICS Summit
H-Tayea Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly firmly rejected any proposals to forcibly displace or relocate Palestinians from Gaza, stressing Egypt's unwavering stance on preserving Palestinian rights and territorial integrity. Speaking on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the opening session of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Madbouly addressed world leaders, highlighting the severe crises confronting the international community—including geopolitical tensions, economic instability, debt crises, climate change, and the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Madbouly described the Israeli military campaign in Gaza, ongoing for nearly two years, as the gravest crisis of the present time, citing the deaths of more than 55,000 Palestinians, two-thirds of whom were women and children, along with approximately 125,000 injured. He condemned Israel's violations of international law and humanitarian principles, not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including continued settlement activities on occupied Palestinian land. The Prime Minister noted Egypt's joint mediation efforts with Qatar and the United States that led to a ceasefire agreement on January 15. However, he said Israeli attacks on civilians violated that truce. Madbouly called for an immediate restoration of the ceasefire and urged Israel to halt all military actions and comply with international humanitarian law to protect civilians. He categorically rejected any plans aimed at displacing Gaza's population, warning that such proposals threaten not only the prospect of a two-state solution but also broader regional peace. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
