China Puts New Taxes on EU Milk Foods

China has new taxes on some milk foods from Europe. This is part of a trade problem. Europe is not happy. They say the taxes are not fair.

Europe thinks China is doing this. This is because Europe looked at China's electric cars. The European Commission is looking at China's choice. They will tell China their thoughts.

Europe says China's reasons are weak. This problem shows trade is harder now. The taxes are from 21.9% to 42.7%. They will affect many exports. Milk and cheese will have taxes. This might hurt good European cheeses.

These taxes are for now. But they make the EU milk business worry. Trade problems started in 2023. This is about Europe's study of car money. Europe thinks China's reasons for taxes are not strong.

These taxes will cost EU companies money. Some cheese brands will be hurt. We do not know all the effects yet. This makes people think about future trade.
