China\u2019s shipments of hi-tech goods to the European Union<\/a> went into overdrive last month, coinciding with a big drop in exports of the same goods to the US, suggesting that the superpower trade<\/a> and tech<\/a> wars could be affecting trade with Europe.Calculations based on recently published Chinese trade data showed that China in May exported huge amounts of batteries, laptops, smartphones<\/a> and solar panels to the 27-member bloc, sending import numbers for some countries to unprecedented levels.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s exports to Estonia soared 79.4 per cent in May compared to last year, and for Cyprus the number was 70.5 per cent, with 46.7 per cent in Bulgaria and 42 per cent in Hungary.<\/p>\n

The boom continued in bigger EU markets as France\u2019s imports shot up 24.2 per cent, Germany\u2019s 21.72 per cent and Sweden\u2019s 20.4 per cent.<\/p>\n

With many EU markets enduring falling exports to China, the cumulative impact was a 22 per cent increase in the union\u2019s trade deficit with the world\u2019s second-largest economy in May.<\/p>\n
