China’s EU Play: Why Ireland Now?

China is courting Ireland as a key EU partner — and tariffs are raising the stakes.
During talks in Beijing, President Xi Jinping told Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin that deeper economic and trade cooperation, based on mutual respect and shared benefits, could help stabilize China-EU relations amid rising tensions.

As Brussels and Beijing clash over trade, China is increasingly using bilateral diplomacy to strengthen its position inside the EU. Xi highlighted potential cooperation in AI, pharmaceuticals, green tech, and tourism, while urging long-term, pragmatic dialogue — especially as Ireland prepares to assume the EU Council presidency later this year.

The timing is critical. The visit follows China’s steep tariffs on European dairy products, a direct hit to Ireland’s €6B export sector, and continues with Martin’s trip to Shanghai. Is Ireland becoming China’s new bridge to Europe?
