德国与法国正在为欧洲提议一种新武器，以回击大量廉价中国进口商品的涌入，这为与北京的对抗拉开了序幕。
Germany and France are proposing a new weapon for Europe to fight back against a flood of cheap Chinese imports, setting the stage for a confrontation with Beijing.
在下周欧盟领导人峰会召开之前，这两个国家提议欧盟降低阻止中国产品的门槛，并允许欧盟在此类行动上采取更快的行动。借助这一新权力，欧盟可能在做出决定后的几天内，禁止北京进入其在全球仅存的少数几个主要高收入市场之一。
The countries, ahead of a European Union leaders’ summit next week, are proposing that the bloc lower its bar for blocking Chinese products and allow the bloc to move faster on such actions. With this new power, the EU could potentially bar Beijing from one of its last major high-income markets in the world within days of the decision being taken.
