Beijing warns of retaliation if Europe imposes curbs on Chinese businesses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BEIJING â China's commerce ministry has sent a strong warning to the European Union ahead of expected high-level talks in Beijing next week. China will "respond firmly" if the EU introduces restrictions on Chinese businesses or products, the Chinese commerce ministry said in a statement late Tuesday, according to a CNBC translation of Mandarin. The ministry said such actions, while China and the EU are engaged in trade talks, would "seriously undermine mutual trust" and "disrupt" the negotiati
CNBC's The China Connection newsletter: Spectacle-heavy Trump-Xi summit was more about domestic messaging (opens the original)

Hi, this is Evelyn, writing to you from Beijing. Welcome to the latest edition of The China Connection â a snapshot of what I'm seeing and hearing from local businesses. Now that the second Trump-Xi summit of the year is over, it's clear the show was aimed more at home than reaching tangible outcomes. Is agreeing to talk enough?

Trump personally greeted Xi at the airport in a very rare gesture, and more than 100 people, mostly from U.S. government and businesses, attended a state dinner for Xi. But there were few breakthroughs, including a far shorter-than-expected two-mon
Why Xi believes the U.S. and China can overcome the 'Thucydides Trap' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BEIJING â China is embracing the idea of competition without confrontation, by invoking an academic concept.
