The European Union plans to recalibrate its China policy, recognising coordination with a more hawkish United States is essential.<br \/>\nHighlighting the medical devices sector in China, the document said the transatlantic partners are \"exploring possible actions\" over the threat posed by non-market policies and practices.<br \/>\nThey also aim to cooperate on efforts to counter foreign manipulation of information, including \"China's amplification of Russian disinformation narratives about the war\" in Ukraine.<br \/>\nThe two sides also said they were committed to working with the G7 to coordinate action to counteract acts of economic coercion, such as the trade restrictions the EU says China has imposed on EU member Lithuania.<br \/>\nReporting by Philip Blenkinsop Editing by Helen Popper<br \/>\nOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.<\/p>\n<p>This data comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaintel.asia\/\" title=\"MediaIntel.Asia provides Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring in Asia\" >MediaIntel.Asia's Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BRUSSELS, May 13 (Reuters) &#8211; Washington and the EU will pledge joint action to tackle concerns focused on China about non-market practices and coordinate their export controls on semiconductors and other goods at a meeting this month, a draft statemen&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":253,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[144,586,477,194,1542,484],"tags":[10352,3556,2724,10315,2240,2491,10351,10336],"class_list":["post-157439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-china","category-economy","category-investment","category-news-chinese-law","category-technology","category-united-states","tag-european","tag-export","tag-exports","tag-media-intelligence","tag-military","tag-sweden","tag-war","tag-washington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/253"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157439"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":157440,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157439\/revisions\/157440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
