  "account": "Beijing and Brussels have reportedly reached an agreement to avert an escalation in the trade dispute over hybrid vehicles. According to a statement from China's state news agency Xinhua late Friday, both sides have come to an accord on trade in hybrid cars in line with World Trade Organization rules. A compromise on electric vehicle tariffs is also hinted at in the communiqué. The \"Joint Statement\" was initially followed by no EU response. EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic was due to address the press in Beijing late Friday evening. Sefcovic had been negotiating with China's Trade Minister Wang Wentao in Beijing on Thursday and Friday, as well as Vice Premier He Lifeng. The meeting with He Lifeng signals Beijing's seriousness in taking the European criticism more seriously than before. He Lifeng also conducts negotiations with the US and is a confidant of State and Party leader Xi Jinping. The talks between Sefcovic and He indicate that the conflict with Europeans has now reached the highest political level.",
  "summary": "Peking und Brüssel können eine Eskalation im Handelsstreit offenbar abwenden. Zu Hybrid- und E-Autos deutet sich ein Kompromiss an. Details sind noch offen.",
