When They Cannot Compete… Wait It Is An USA's DIKtat!!!

The European Commission announced a vote to impose punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), drawing backlash from several EU countries and the automotive industry, who warn it may hurt EU competitiveness. Despite securing necessary support, 12 member states abstained and five opposed the decision, with Germany and Hungary voicing the strongest dissent. China's Ministry of Commerce condemned the tariffs, stating they would undermine investment confidence in Europe, and urged the EU to return to the right track of resolving trade disputes through consultations. German carmakers expressed discontent, with Volkswagen and BMW calling for negotiation rather than tariffs, while the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU urged caution and dialogue. MG, one of the Chinese-owned brands in Europe, pointed out that proposed tarifffs as high as 45% will push new energy vehicles away from European consumers. The EU launched an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese ev imports in October 2023. In June 2024, China and the EU agreed to launch consultations on the aforementioned investigation.
