The price advantages of Chinese exports to the European market have been mitigated by the euro deflation. The weak euro will also spur eurozone exports to other markets, adding competitive pressure to China's high value-added exports.
The pressure is on Chinese exports as the euro sinks against the yuan, said Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang on Tuesday.
The yuan was up 10.8% against the euro until March 13, when the euro devalued 13.2% against the US dollar.
