Recently, the United States has once again performed "dragon slaying" against China, and it is going to take action against the entire Chinese automobile manufacturing industry, or the shameless and lying reason that our ears have long been tired of, Biden threatens to ban Chinese cars from entering the American market!
According to the Global Times, on the 29th, the last day of February, Biden shamelessly declared: "The United States will take unprecedented action" to prevent Chinese cars from entering the American market.
Biden is ready to launch a new round of blocking Chinese cars!
Biden falsely claimed that "China is determined to dominate the auto market in the future, including by using unfair practices, and China's policies could flood the U.S. market with its cars, putting our *** at risk, and I will not let that happen during my tenure."
In the past 2023, Chinese automobiles have created or maintained at least three first places, which has attracted global attention!
First, China has become the world's largest exporter of automobiles, including China's own brand cars and joint venture brand vehicles, with exports of 4.91 million units in the whole year last year, nearly 500,000 more than the annual export volume of Japanese automobiles in second place (4.42 million units, data from the Japan Association of Automobiles), and the global automotive industry pattern is due to the strong rise of Chinese automobiles. There was a big reshuffle.
Second, China's production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for nine consecutive years, with domestic sales reaching 8.29 million units, a year-on-year increase of 335%；Exports totaled 1.2 million units, reflecting a 77.7% y/y increase6%！
Whether it is domestic sales or exports, China's new energy vehicles have maintained the world's first, China's new energy vehicles in the world's market share has exceeded 68%, except for Tesla brand cars can hardly beat the opponent, and more than half of Tesla cars are still manufactured in Shanghai Gigafactory, relying on China's automotive industry chain.
Third, China is the world's No. 1 auto market, with China's total automobile production and sales ranking first in the world for 15 consecutive years, with 30.09 million vehicles sold in China in 2023. In addition, China's automobile not only wins by quantity, but also continues to build a world-leading scientific and technological innovation system on the new energy track.
Chinese brand cars are accelerating to go to sea, especially to seize the new energy vehicle position!
In 2023, sales in the U.S. auto market will only be 15.5 million units, about half of the sales in the Chinese auto market, and almost no Chinese auto brands will enter the U.S. auto market for official sales.
Over the years, the United States has adopted a variety of methods such as imposing high tariffs of more than 25% on China's exports, not allowing ** procurement, and adopting discriminatory subsidy policies to prevent Chinese cars from entering the US market.
Occupy half of the world's new energy vehicle sales, has surpassed the United States Tesla's independent car brand BYD, its boss Wang Chuanfu as early as 2011 said that BYD cars will not enter the U.S. market sales, the reason is that the U.S. market is "too complicated".
For example, the former Trump in the United States once said that "new energy vehicles are a **", fully supporting traditional oil vehicles.
Although Biden supports the production of new energy vehicles by the three major American car brands, he has taken strict external protection measures. In terms of new energy vehicle tax credits, first, the whole vehicle must be assembled in North America, and secondly, from 2024, it is strictly prohibited to include any battery components manufactured or assembled by "foreign entities of concern", which is clearly aimed at China's auto industry.
To this end, during Biden's tenure, the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Act", "Chips and Science Act", "Inflation Reduction Act" and other relevant regulations have been issued successively, including on-board chips, auto parts, battery chains and mineral raw materials, etc., in the manufacturing and sales terminals of China's auto industry has carried out a perfect closed-loop block, which can be called a "closed country" to Chinese automobiles!
Therefore, Biden's claim that he will ban Chinese cars from entering the U.S. market on the grounds of "** is nothing new at all, and even if he doesn't mention the notorious "** four words, Chinese cars will actually not be able to enter the U.S. market for sale at all."
But even if Chinese car companies can't sell cars in the United States, the world's second largest car market, the United States still can't stop Chinese cars from creating the world's No. 1 export and sales performance, which is the strength of China's auto industry!
On the other hand, the three major automobile brands in the United States, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, because they enjoy the protectionism unilaterally adopted by the United States against Chinese automobiles, do not need to compete with Chinese brand cars in their domestic markets, so they lose their enterprising spirit in scientific and technological innovation and rest on their laurels, which makes them more and more uncompetitive in the global market, and lags behind Chinese brand cars in an all-round way.
However, we still need to be wary of Biden's use of "** as an excuse to co-opt US allies and launch a comprehensive global blockade of China's auto industry, just as it did against China's Huawei."
China's automobile industry has accounted for more than 10% of China's GDP, and there are 700,000 large, medium and small enterprises in the upstream and downstream industrial chains, creating tens of millions of jobs.
Therefore, we can lose the American car market, but we must be seriously vigilant against the threat of the United States and win over other countries to blockade the import of our cars!
Based on this, at the regular press conference on March 1, my spokesperson Mao Ning sternly refuted Biden's statement at the first time.
Mao Ning emphasized that the popularity of Chinese automobiles in the world does not depend on the so-called "unfair practices", but on technological innovation and excellent quality formed in the fierce market competition. China has always opened its doors to global auto companies, and U.S. automakers have been fully enjoying the dividends of China's large market. On the contrary, it is the United States that engages in protectionism and sets up obstacles such as discriminatory subsidy policies, which seriously hinder the entry of Chinese cars into the US market.
The politicization of economic and trade issues by the United States will only hinder the development of the American auto industry. China urges the US to respect the laws of the market economy and the principle of fair competition, stop generalizing the concept of China, stop discriminating against and suppressing Chinese companies, and earnestly maintain an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment.
In other words, the three traditional American brands and Tesla cars can be sold in China, but why can't Chinese cars be sold in the United States?
It is nothing more than freedom ** is only the United States unilaterally against other countries' ** goods, but the imports of other countries to adopt ** protectionism, this phenomenon has become more and more obvious, and if the United States really wants to block Chinese cars, then China must also have a response!
In short, China's auto industry is developing vigorously and rapidly, and has made unprecedented remarkable achievements, which has attracted the attention of the United States, which will not only maintain the current containment measures, but also take more severe "unprecedented" suppression measures, but just like the United States cannot knock down Huawei, their tricks will never succeed!
