Question 1

Сценарий A: Escalation?

Accepted Answer

Scenario A (Escalation) — 50% Chain: The EU's tougher stance on Chinese imports triggers retaliatory tariffs from China. These tariffs impact European exports to China, particularly in sectors like electronics and machinery. This leads to a decline in trade between the two regions. Scenario B (Status Quo) — 38% Chain: The EU's proposed measures to diversify supply chains for key sectors are met with industry pushback and political uncertainty. This leads to a delay in implementation, creating a stalemate. (50% model probability, not a guarantee)
