Germany's Scholz is speaking on China (and Taiwan) saying:
- We assume that nobody will try to change things by force
- joint hope is that there will be agreement on China cards issued by the end of October.
Meanwhile EU's Von Der Leyen adds:
- On China tariffs, there has to be a level playing field
- We are negotiating with China on what compensation could be, such as price commitments or investments in Europe
- Negotiations with China will continue even if tariffs enter into force
