This world is like an endless wrestling race, and every step is related to the ownership of victory and defeat. Recently, the European Union has been involved in a hot contest, and China's electric vehicles have suffered a countervailing investigation! According to Lianhe Zaobao, the EU opened the "door" of countervailing and pointed directly at China's electric vehicles. It's a hot topic, and guess what's the impact of the EU's move?
The fuse of this war came from a document released by the European Union, which claimed that China had received generous subsidies for electric vehicles. Since the start of the countervailing investigation in October last year, China's electric vehicle imports have increased by 14% year-on-year! Wow, what a powerful conversation. But if China's electric vehicles continue to hit the EU market at such an accelerated pace, what will happen to EU manufacturers? The damage is hard to repair, how amazing it is!
The European Union "** The European Commission decided to "name" China's electric vehicles in order to safeguard its own interests. The planned implementation of customs registration means that if Chinese electric vehicles are accused of unfair subsidies, they will be weighed down by tariffs! What will be the outcome of the 13-month countervailing investigation period? Is this a "race in the ring" for the EU to protect itself?
Competition and pressure coexist] experts analyzed that the EU's move was actually out of anxiety about the competitiveness of China's electric vehicles. China has a 60% share of the global market for electric vehicles, and the EU has become its main export destination. However, China's electric vehicle production capacity is mainly to meet domestic demand, and exports to Europe are only the tip of the iceberg. Do you think it's fair for the EU to use the cost of electric vehicles to determine whether it's fair or not?
China's Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yadong issued a solemn voice opposing the EU's countervailing investigation. It is believed that this is not only detrimental to the automobile industry of both sides, but also disrupts the global industrial chain and affects climate change response. But will the EU listen? Obviously, they are tough on China's restrictive measures.
On the eve of the EU's announcement of the tax, Chinese envoy Li Hui came to Europe to fight for fairness for Chinese companies. He had a warm exchange with the EU's top brass, but the EU did not compromise. This "wrestling match" continues, who will win?
This "wrestling match" between China and Europe is undoubtedly a contest of strength, and the winner is not divided. But what we are looking forward to is not only a victory or defeat, but also a win-win future. May both sides abandon prejudice and push the relationship to a higher level!
