We\u2019ve seen it in chemicals, we see it in machine tools, in the automotive sector and in many others,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Merz also noted that EU\u2019s trade deficit with China had been sharply rising in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it goes without saying that we have to address this imbalance, because it comes at the expense of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 27-country EU\u2019s trade deficit in goods with China hit around 360 billion euros in 2025, meaning the EU imported way more from the Asian nation than it exported there.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to allegations of China\u2019s yuan currency being undervalued, Macron urged dialogue with Beijing \u201con exchange rates and the opening of financial markets\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The German leader added that \u201cif the Chinese currency is currently correctly valued, then there is no reason not to allow it to be freely convertible for trading purposes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
