Jens Eskelund, president of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, warned of a sharp rise in Chinese exports to Europe following Washington’s announcement of sweeping import tariffs in April.
"We have seen in the first half of the year how exports from China to North America have been declining. So I think you could perhaps term it a trade diversion, but I don't think it's the whole story," he told Euronews in an interview on Tuesday.
