China retaliates against EU with a ban on European medical devices

CHINA, JUL 6 – China limits government purchases of EU medical devices above 45 million yuan in response to EU barring Chinese firms from tenders worth over 60 billion euros annually.

  • China has barred European Union companies without operations in China from major government medical device contracts.
  • The restriction does not apply to EU-funded companies operating in China or non-EU companies that allocate less than half of the contract value to importing EU medical devices.
  • China also announced duties on brandy originating in the EU, largely believed to be a response to Europe's tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
