Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez embarks on a crucial visit to China, aiming to strengthen economic ties and address potential trade conflicts.

This marks his second trip to China in just over a year, highlighting the importance of Sino-Spanish relations.

The visit comes amid concerns over possible Chinese retaliatory measures against Spanish pork exports, following EU's proposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

Sánchez, accompanied by Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and a delegation of business leaders, seeks to prevent these measures and promote Spain as a reliable trade partner.

The trip also aims to enhance Spain's position in sectors like energy and automotive.

While Sánchez focuses on international diplomacy, his government faces domestic challenges, including parliamentary instability and economic pressures.
