Even during the Chinese New Year holiday, Britain did not relax its actions against China because of this. The UK's TRA agency is actively preparing to launch an investigation into electric vehicles in China. Interestingly, Britain's close allies, the United States and Australia, have not followed in the footsteps of Intra and have chosen to work with China in their respective areas of concern. Griffiths, the CEO of TRA in the UK, has set his sights on electric vehicles in China, saying that an investigation can be launched at any time. The reason why he had this idea is related to the anti-subsidy investigation launched by the European Union against China last year. The automotive industry has always been one of the most competitive sectors in Europe, especially in Germany and the United Kingdom. With the continuous updating of technology and the prevalence of the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction, countries have begun to turn to new energy vehicles. This raises the question of Europe's apparent lag compared to the rapid development of electric vehicles in China and the United States. At present, most of the electric vehicles that sell well in Europe are either Chinese brands, or made in China or use Chinese components. For countries such as France and Germany, this is unacceptable, but with head-to-head competition blocked, the EU last year proposed a countervailing investigation against China Tram, trying to reverse the situation through unfair means.
It is worth noting that although the UK has left the EU, the UK TRA has borrowed from the EU's investigative practice and put forward the idea of conducting an investigation into Chinese trams. The British and the industry have not made a request for investigation from the TRA, so although Griffiths said it was ready, it could only wait for action. The reason why the British ** and the industry ** did not file a request for investigation is that there are two main issues that have not been resolved. One is the development of the UK's electric vehicle industry, and the other is the achievement of the UK's net-zero emission target. While it is true that learning from the EU can limit the development of Chinese electric vehicles in the UK market, it will also affect the progress of the UK's own electric vehicle industry. The reason is that the UK has not yet established a complete tram industry and still relies on China's ** chain and technology. To promote the development of the domestic tram industry, it is necessary to rely not only on subsidies, but also on the establishment of corresponding competitors, and China is an ideal choice.
While Britain has yet to act, Griffiths's rhetoric suggests that some can't wait and that China needs to be prepared. Interestingly, the United States and Australia, two countries that have always had good relations with the UK, have not acted with them, but have instead expressed their intention to further discuss cooperation with China. Let's talk about the United States first, after years of war against China, many industries in the United States have been seriously affected. Especially in the field of agriculture, the United States' agricultural exports to China had been growing before the war, but after the war, some agricultural exports suffered a setback, the most obvious of which was soybeans. Fortunately, since the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state in Bali and San Francisco, the relationship between China and the United States in the economic field has eased. Recently, American farmers have appealed: "I hope the Chinese market returns".
As for Australia, China-Australia relations have improved significantly since the incumbent ** came to power. Australia is not satisfied with this, and Australian Minister Farrell hopes that China can lift the "ban" on the import of meat, wine and other products from the country as soon as possible. Although the voices of American farmers and Farrell are essentially pursuing their own interests, they also invisibly have the intention of promoting China. It is hoped that the British TRA can recognize the importance of China and the United Kingdom and avoid creating unnecessary trouble.
