Competition is just a trick, and the EU wants to stab Chinese electric vehicle companies in the back.
On September 13, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that she would launch a countervailing investigation into Chinese electric vehicles, a move she claimed was to protect European car companies from the rise of Chinese electric vehicles, according to Phoenix.com.
This sentence translates to mean that since you can't be rectified on the table, then you will be rectified under the table.
In other words, they don't do the right thing, but they are very good at it.
Back then, in the era of fuel vehicles, our domestic car brands were pressed and beaten by others, but in the era of new energy vehicles, we left Western car companies behind through subsidies and the efforts of Chinese car companies themselves.
According to the statistics of the China National Association, in the first half of this year, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 34770,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 441%, while the export of new energy vehicles is as high as 5340,000 units, up 160% y/y.
From the perspective of production and sales, our new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for 8 consecutive years, and in terms of market share, our new energy vehicles account for 65% of the global market share6%, that is to say, 6 out of 10 people in the world drive our domestic new energy vehicles.
In addition, according to Germany**, 41% of the car brands at the international motor show held in Munich were from China. Seeing this battle, the French "Le Monde" published an article saying that in a few years, Chinese car companies will be able to become the leaders of the global automotive industry.
As the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and seeing that Chinese car companies have achieved a turnaround against the wind, European politicians can't sit still, so they announced the launch of an anti-subsidy investigation against our electric vehicles.
Europe's approach is clear: it is a head-on stab that cannot be stabbed in the back.
Also, according to Reuters, in order to make their countervailing investigation stand up, von der Leyen also found a high-sounding reason, claiming that the global market is now flooded with cheap Chinese electric cars, and that their ** is being artificially depressed due to our huge subsidies, which is distorting their market.
This sentence translates to mean that our electric cars are sold too cheaply, which affects them to cut leeks, good guys, this is a typical crime of desire.
She thought that our electric cars were sold cheaply because of subsidies, but she didn't know that we had already formed a complete new energy vehicle industry chain after so many years of development.
In other words, she hurriedly played tricks without even figuring out the fundamental problem, which would only shoot herself in the foot.
In fact, as soon as she announced her proposed countervailing duty investigation into our electric vehicles, the EU began to fight in the nest.
For example, Germany, Europe's largest car manufacturer, and most member states have objected to this decision, arguing that such a move could be met with a reciprocal response from us, which could ultimately hurt the entire European automotive industry.
You must know that not only many European car companies have large factories located on our side, but even many of their own electric vehicles are cooperating with us.
In other words, once the EU initiates a countervailing investigation, it will be themselves who will be hurt the most.
In addition, some politicians in the EU have questioned von der Leyen's approach, believing that von der Leyen is "setting up a person and submitting a petition" for the re-election of the president of the European Commission to the next term.
If this is the case, then she will be pulling the entire European automobile industry to accompany her in "singing".
Of course, having said that, the EU's actions have completely exposed their true colors, and it also tells us that in this highly competitive environment, only if they are strong enough to stand.
