EU–China Sensitive Files Tracker (Q1 2026)
Key measures, dates, and monitoring indicators — designed for fast scanning (EN + 中文摘要)
Version 1.0 | Date: 14 Jan 2026 | Update cadence: monthly (via eBriefing)
What changed now (3 signals)
Timeline (minimum set)
Three sensitive files (what it is / why it matters / what to watch)
File 1 — Electric vehicles (BEVs): duties + price undertakings
What it is: duties in force; exporters may submit undertaking offers.
Why it matters: access-by-conditions + monitoring logic.
What to watch: acceptance criteria; monitoring/enforcement; spillovers.
File 2 — Political track: fairness, reciprocity, overcapacity
What it is: summit track sets narrative and red lines.
Why it matters: influences enforcement intensity and new instruments.
What to watch: overcapacity + concrete follow-ups/deliverables.
File 3 — Economic security: de-risking (not decoupling)
What it is: reduce vulnerabilities while preserving selective cooperation.
Why it matters: broader compliance surface (supply chains, controls, screening).
What to watch: critical inputs; export controls; sensitive-sector scrutiny.
Monitoring indicators (10-item checklist)
How to use (30-second workflow)
Next step
eBriefing (EN + 中文) — tables + monitoring framework + 12-month updates

中文摘要（简体)：
本追踪表用于快速把握欧中关系中最敏感的三类议题：（1）电动汽车反补贴与“价格承诺”路径；（2）峰会政治信号（公平、互惠、产能过剩）；（3）“去风险（非脱钩）”下的经济安全与合规/供应链脆弱性。建议每月检查官方文件，一旦出现新的指导文件、调查或市场准入条件变化，立即复核定价、合同与合规假设。
