The European Union has initiated a probe into whether China's policies towards its medical device industry create unfair advantages by protecting local manufacturers and restricting imports. This investigation highlights growing tensions between the EU and China, particularly as President Xi Jinping schedules his inaugural visit. Moreover, this inquiry belongs to a series of probes scrutinizing China's stance on various sectors, including electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines, and solar panels, reflecting broader concerns about market access and reciprocity.
