China's extension of EU dairy import probe linked to September talks

China will not conclude its anti-dumping investigation into EU dairy imports until at least early next year as talks are set to continue in September. In response to China's decision this week to extend its probe to February, the European Dairy Association (EDA) said it was not surprised by the decision given Chinese officials are due to make 'technical visits' to Belgium and the Netherlands next month, as well as hold talks with the European Commission (EC). China kicked off its investigation in August last year to ascertain whether the EU was guilty of exporting dairy products to the Asian country at prices that put local producers at an unfair advantage. The probe followed similar enquiries launched by China for pork and brandy shipped from the European trading bloc that commenced in June and January of 2024, respectively. The trade spat with China was sparked by the EU threatening to impose tariffs on imports of Chinese battery electric vehicles (BEV), with the EC claiming 'unfair subsidisation' by its Chinese counterparts that risked 'causing a threat of economic injury' to local manufacturers. Xinhua, China's state-run news agency and official government mouthpiece, reported on Monday (18 August) that the Ministry of Commerce had extended its investigation into 'certain dairy products' from the EU to February The news service, citing a Ministry statement, said the extension was due to the 'complexity of the case'. Similar language emerged from the EDA. Its Secretary General Alexander Anton said in a statement: 'This highlights the increasingly complex dynamics of global dairy trade and has required coordinated responses from the industry and policymakers, and EDA will continue to work closely with the EU Commission and the 'sampled' dairies that are most involved in the process.' In October last year, China's Ministry of Commerce identified Dutch dairy giant FrieslandCampina, Elvir (France) Co. and Sterilgarda Alimenti in Italy as three EU companies that would be subject to a sampling exercise as part of its anti-dumping probe. Meanwhile, the EC took its case to the World Trade Organization (WTO) last September under a 'commitment to firmly defend the interests of the EU dairy industry and the Common Agricultural Policy against abusive proceedings'. Anton at the EDA said today (20 August) in the statement, when asked for comment and an update on those proceedings by Just Food: 'With that, for the very first time in such an early state of the procedure, the EU has given a clear political sign to step up to defend our European interest. 'WTO procedures are not known for speed and so far, we have no signs for any progress at this level.' Just Food has asked the EC for an update on the status of proceedings regarding China's probe into dairy and pork imports from the bloc, and whether there has been any progress with the WTO. When China kicked off its dairy import investigation last August, Xinhua said the probe was launched on behalf of the Dairy Association of China and the China Dairy Industry Association. The news agency suggested at the time that the review would include fresh cheese, curd and blue cheese from the EU. It was expected that the enquiry would conclude on 21 August of this year but could be extended for six months 'under special circumstances'.

We Now Know Everything About the First Xbox Handheld (Except the Most Important Thing)

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is a mouthful of a name for a device, and yet I can't stop saying the name—like I'm casting a spell—as we slide further toward the end of the year. At Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Microsoft and Asus are giving players a chance to wrap their mitts around the strange Xbox controller-like grips of the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X. While the companies will tell you when you'll eventually be able to pick one off a store shelf, they're not quite ready to tell you how much it'll cost. Both the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X are slated for release on Oct. 16 in the U.S., Europe, and other markets in Asia. We won't know how much it will cost and when we can preorder one until sometime 'in the coming weeks,' Asus said in a press release. Gamescom attendees will be first to try out the new Xbox-ified version of Windows 11, which should make it easier than Microsoft's regular ol' OS to launch games on both the Xbox app and through third-party launchers like Steam and Epic Games Store. The handheld effectively dual boots into the base version of Windows 11 if you need to access all the apps you can't from the new Xbox menu. Microsoft is also working on a 'Handheld Compatibility Program' akin to Valve's Steam Deck Verified badges. Xbox will label whether a game is 'handheld optimized,' which means it works with the default controller layout, or 'mostly compatible,' which will require a few adjustments. The ROG Xbox Ally is the lower-end starter handheld compared to the beefier specs of the Xbox Ally X. The one in white comes packed with an AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor. Based on specs alone, the chip seems closest in power to a Steam Deck. It's a 4-core, 8-thread chip based on AMD's Zen 2 microarchitecture, which the chipmaker launched back in 2019. It's running on eight RDNA 2 GPU cores, which should be enough for the vast majority of smaller games and a fair few AAA titles on lower graphics settings. It still comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of built-in storage. The Xbox Ally X is the one that comes packed with AMD's Ryzen Z2 Extreme. That APU, or accelerated processing unit, sports 8 cores and 16 threads based on AMD's latest Zen 5 CPU architecture. The chip is packed with 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores—though not the latest RDNA 4—alongside 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Just like the Asus ROG Ally X from 2024, it contains an 80Wh battery that should enhance overall playtime, depending on your performance settings. Microsoft also hinted the Xbox Ally X will make use of Microsoft's Automatic Super Resolution for on-device AI upscaling to enhance performance. Both the Xbox Ally and Ally X contain a 7-inch LCD display. Microsoft said either handheld should receive future updates that will allow for faster launching and better battery life, as well as 'enhancements to the docking experience' that suggest the Xbox Ally will work better connected to a monitor or TV. There are a few reasons you should be concerned that neither Microsoft nor Asus wants to drop the bombshell that is pricing. We caught a hint of supposed Xbox Ally prices for European customers back in July. The Xbox Ally was set at 600 euros, or $700, while the Xbox Ally X demanded 900 euros, or $1,050. Those are similar prices to today's ROG Ally and ROG Ally X in the EU, so these leaks may not be equivalent to what U.S. customers can expect to pay. Tariffs have already caused havoc on PC supply chains and led to manufacturers raising prices. Without any official notice, Asus raised prices on its ROG Ally X from $900 to $1,000 a few months after President Donald Trump announced sweeping global tariffs. Optimists will look at the delayed pricing and hope Microsoft is working out a way to subsidize what will be its first new gaming hardware in years, even if it's simply sporting the Xbox brand name. If the Xbox Ally X is truly as pricey as other handheld PCs, it would make it a premium product that only the most ardent PC gamers would be willing to fork over their funds for. It will need to compete with upcoming handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go 2 that sports a better OLED display compared to the Ally's LCD. The Xbox Ally needs to be, at the very least, as cheap as a baseline Steam Deck OLED at $550 or the $600 Lenovo Legion Go S if Asus and Xbox want any chance of staking a claim in the still-nascent handheld scene.

We know when the ROG Xbox Ally X will hit store shelves, but the price tag is still a mystery

The drip feed of information regarding the ROG Xbox Ally X continues through Gamescom as we finally learn the handheld's official release date, but Asus and Xbox have yet to drop the price on us. Hitting store shelves on October 16, we are still completely in the dark as to when we can preorder the latest handheld or if we will even be able to afford one. Xbox had a massive presence at Gamescom this year, but opted to dedicate a huge booth to demoing games not on its traditional hardware, but instead the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally X. Officially announced earlier this year, rumors have been circulating about how much this powerful handheld would cost. Among the excitement of seeing Silksong and other games demoed on the new device, the only new bit of information we got was that the system will be available on October 16, less than two months from now, which makes the lack of any price information even more concerning. Recommended Videos Price and preorder information are promised to be coming in the coming weeks. The ROG Xbox Ally X is the latest handheld gaming device aiming to compete with the likes of the Steam Deck and Switch 2. Previous ROG handhelds have been well received for their power, but aren't as user-friendly as home consoles. Partnering with Xbox, this new iteration will have an overhauled UI that more closely mimics a console experience rather than present itself like a handheld PC. It will allow players to easily download and play games from all major PC storefronts, including Steam, Epic, and Xbox Game Pass. The excitement of learning the release date is certainly dampened by not being able to preorder the device like we all thought we would, and the lack of an official price might mean the leaked prices of around $700 for the ROG Xbox Ally and over $1,000 for the X could be accurate. Of course, with the ever-changing economic landscape and tariff policies, we might need to brace for even higher prices.
