⚡️🇪🇸🇨🇳 NEW - Spain’s PM just met with President Xi Jinping in Beijing and they made a trade agreement to open China to Spanish products and vice versa, with Spain rejecting US threats about “cutting your own throat” if they negotiated with China.

“It's China's and EU's responsibility to safeguard international justice and fairness,” said Xi, who urged the EU to work with China on resisting American tariffs.

The two countries signed agreements on science, technology, education and the film industry, as well as protocols regarding pork and cherry exports.

China will broaden its work with the EU through advanced technology and high tech manufacturing like batteries, electric vehicles and hydrogen, which the EU is not good at.
