European Parliament in Final Talks to Remove China Sanctions

The European Parliament is nearing the conclusion of protracted negotiations with Beijing to roll back mutual sanctions, marking a potential thaw in diplomatic tensions. These talks stem from 2021, when China retaliated against EU sanctions targeting Chinese officials accused of human rights violations in Xinjiang by blacklisting several members of the European Parliament. A breakthrough now hinges on formal confirmation from Chinese authorities, after which European Parliament President Roberta Metsola will brief political group leaders. While the discussions carry significant geopolitical weight, they notably omit any reference to cryptocurrency markets or digital asset exchanges—a silence that contrasts with recent financial dialogues between global powers.
