Foreign media: On December 22, 2025, China announced that it would impose tariffs of 21.9% to 42.7% on EU dairy products starting from December 23. The Chinese side has determined that the EU's subsidies for dairy products have caused "substantial damage" to China's domestic dairy industry. Companies that cooperate with the investigation will be subject to a tax rate of 28.6%, while those that do not cooperate may face a maximum rate of 42.7%.
China stated that the EU's subsidies for dairy products have caused "substantial damage" to China's domestic dairy industry. The affected products include fresh, processed, and blue cheese (such as French Roquefort blue cheese) as well as some milk and cream.
The EU side said this measure is "unfounded and unnecessary" and stated that it will communicate with China.
