Business Europe Pushes to Protect General EU-China Trade

European business leaders want to protect standard trade with China from geopolitical tensions.

The European business federation BusinessEurope released a new policy paper on October 19, 2026.

The paper is titled 'What is the way forward for EU-China relations.'

It urges the European Union to refine its current de-risking strategy.

Business Europe asks officials to separate sensitive security sectors from normal commercial business.

The group supports open trade ties where possible.

At the same time, it wants the EU to address existing market distortions.

This position matters for professionals and entrepreneurs across Stockholm and the Nordics.

Many local international firms rely on stable trade links between Europe and China.

Business leaders are actively advocating to safeguard everyday commercial exchanges.
