European Union nations are reportedly reaching a consensus on the need for urgent action to address the risk of Chinese-driven deindustrialisation across the continent. This convergence of views, observed among countries ranging from free marketeers to long-term interventionists, is occurring in anticipation of a significant summit scheduled to take place in Brussels.
