China’s exports to the EU surged 25.3% in September from a year earlier.
Over the past ten years, Europe’s trade deficit with China has grown to more than five times its original size by volume.

Huang Guangqin reveals the inside story behind the collapse of the KMT–TPP alliance in Zhubei, saying Hsu Hsin-ying was wrongly blamed and left bearing the criticism
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
Veteran media personality Huang Guangqin revealed the truth behind the collapse of the KMT–TPP alliance in Zhubei, saying Huang Kuo-chang shifted the blame to Hsu Hsin-ying, who had no decision-making authority. The real sticking points were Ko Wen-je’s insistence on nominating Chiu Chen-yuan and the gap in poll numbers.
Facts
Huang Guangqin said the Zhubei mayoral election was not covered by the KMT–TPP alliance agreement, and that the two sides had mainly discussed cooperation at the county and city leadership level.
Huang Kuo-chang once told Cheng Li-wun directly that Ko Wen-je insisted the TPP must nominate its own candidate for Zhubei mayor, and that Chiu Chen-yuan had to be that candidate.
Related polls show Chiu Chen-yuan trailing KMT candidate Wu Hsu-chih, with the gap reaching at least 11 percentage points in some polls.
KMT candidate Wu Hsu-chih secured the nomination through the party’s primary, and would face enormous pressure if the party headquarters asked him to withdraw.
Hsu Hsin-ying is neither the KMT chair nor the head of the party’s Hsinchu County chapter, and has no authority to decide who runs for Zhubei mayor.
