China is the biggest importer of agricultural things. They can't produce locally all the food they eat. And Europe is exporting a lot of wheat and other corns to China. Maybe we can start to put some pressure on them finally ;)

I don't think EU will be able to put any pressure on China with food. China still has a lot of different levers in case they lack food. Remember that the US deal actually forced them to buy american agricultural products. They also banned most of Australia food imports since they asked for an international investigation on SARS-CoV-2 origins. They could just lift this ban and Australian politics and farmers would jump on the occasion. There are so many countries who are willing to sell no matter what and no matter who as long as the price is good, and China has a lot of money.
