We all know that in 2023, our China's automobile exports will reach4.91 million units, hitting a record high at the same time, but also year-on-yearThat's an increase of 579%For the first time, it surpassed Japan (4.42 million units) to become the world's largest exporter of automobiles.
It can be said that it is not easy for China's automobile exports to come to this point, and it also reflects the high-quality development and strong innovation ability of China's manufacturing industry.
However, there are always some people who feel that after our Chinese cars sell better and better, it will affect their interests. No, according to the British Reuters news agency, because of concerns about the impact of imported Chinese cars on domestic car companies, the US Republican Senate Hawley suggested a proposalIt is necessary to increase import tariffs on Chinese cars.
The picture shows US Republican Senator Holly's advocacy:Bringing the U.S. basic tariffs on imported cars from the current 2The 5% increase to 100% means that the total tax rate for all cars imported from China will increase from the current 275% to 125%. In addition, he wants to impose 100 percent tariffs on cars assembled in Mexico by Chinese automakers. As a result, it will inevitably become more difficult for our Chinese cars to be exported to the U.S. market.
To be honest, the U.S. congressman's proposition must be to protect his country's ***, and the reason he gave is to protect American auto workers "from the existential threat posed by China." After all, the current U.S. domestic economy is facing more serious inflation, and China has come to the forefront of the world in the new energy vehicles. Therefore, there is this so-called proposal to raise the tariff on imported Chinese cars to 100%.
To quote the message of our domestic netizens:The US congressman will put forward such a proposal, it seems that he is really afraid, and if he can't beat it, he will raise tariffs, and he is optimistic that BYD will surpass Toyota and become the world's No. 1 within three years.
There are also netizens who suggest,China must reciprocate countermeasures。In this way, the Chinese people are also quite dissatisfied with the US congressman's proposal to raise the tariff on imported Chinese cars to 100%.
More netizens saidIf that's the case, what about GM and Ford, which are building factories in China? It's not easy to get cheap cars made in China to be exported back to China, and now you have to impose tariffs again? If you don't want me to live, then don't live either.
I have to say that netizens still have a lot of ingenuity in this area, although this is only a proposal at present, but it reflects that some people in the United States agree with this initiative. And reflected in our country, if this is really just a proposal and has not been implemented in the end, then forget it. But if the dust settles on this matter, it will not be a good thing for us to export Chinese cars to the US market, and it will become more difficult for domestic car manufacturers to open up more sales channels.
You know, as early as last year, domestic automakers such as NIO and Chery have made plans to export cars to the United States, of which NIO intends to sell the first car in the United States in 2025. But now at this juncture, the US congressman has put forward a proposal to raise the tariff on imported Chinese cars to 100%, which is somewhat out of place.
At the national level, although the tariffs on automobiles are intended to protect the domestic auto industry and regulate the auto market, thereby increasing the competitive advantage of domestic auto products. However, the introduction of a 100% tariff is too harsh and a bit high. In other words, the US congressman almost pointed at our nose and said: Don't let your Chinese cars enter the mainland of the United States, and if you insist on coming, you will be subject to 100% tariffs on your cars, and see if you still come.
Finally, we need to know that the tariff rate imposed by the United States on imported cars has always been relatively high, and this is actually a kind of protectionism in disguise. At the moment,The United States only imposes tariffs of up to 25% on cars in certain countries, and among them is China.
In contrast, Germany, as an important automobile manufacturing country, has a relatively low tariff rate on imported cars, according to EU regulationsEU member states impose a 10% tariff on cars from non-EU member states。In other words, if we want to export Chinese cars to Germany, we only need to pay 10% tariffs.
So many friends may still ask, since the United States imposes a 25% tariff on the import of our Chinese cars into China, how much tariff does China impose on the import of American cars into China? Hey, that's a good question. According to the data, our China has a relatively high tariff rate on imported carsMost cars are currently subject to an import duty rate of 25%.In other words, it is the same as the import tariffs set by the United States on our Chinese cars.
All in all, we definitely hope that domestic cars can really enter the U.S. market, so as to obtain more export sales and orders. After all, new energy vehicles are already the trend of the times, and China-made new energy vehicles have done so well in terms of intelligence and technology, so American consumers must also want a Chinese-made NIO or BYD new car. Finally, what are your comments and views on the US congressman's proposal to raise the tariff on imported Chinese cars to 100%? Leave a message in the comment area, let's talk about it together.
