European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed deep concerns about China's export practices on Monday after a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"The world cannot absorb China's surplus production", von der Leyen told the press. "These subsidized products, such as the electric vehicles or, for example, steel, are flooding the European market."

Moreover, the European leader declared that "Europe cannot accept the market-distorting practices," signaling a potentially tougher stance on trade relations with China.
