  • As the European Union hikes tariffs on Chinese e-vehicles over what it sees as unfair subsidies by Beijing, former trade commissioner Cecilia Malmström says in an exclusive interview with DW that China is clearly not playing fair. But she warns that subsidies mean higher prices and also possible retaliation.

      and the France - leader of the countries pushing for the tariffs increase, is subsidizing its agriculture for decades. So of course China will set the new tariffs for wine, cheese, cognacs and luxury ware from France.... BTW how much time passed, when Macron was in China doing deal with Airbus and speaking about multipolar world and that EU must by more independent of the USA, looking at its own interests first ...

    China subsidizes both its domestic producers as well as foreign producers such as Tesla. How is that unfair when China has already pledged globally to be carbon neutral by 2060 in which the west again complaint that China was not meeting EU target of 2050. China exports 20% of its EV output whilst Germany exports 70% of its auto industry output Who is over capacity
    US and EU subsidize both Boeing and Airbus along with military contracts
    From my perspective in the global south this is just purely double standards

      Not all subsidies reach the threshold of "unfair trade practices". Maybe those by the US government to Boeing, and EU member states to Airbus...then by all means put tariffs on them. I'm glad to see we're putting tariffs on Chinese EVs.

Even if the USA drills its own oil, the environmental standards application to drilling and cost attributed to environmental damage will influence the oil price.

      The main issue that the EU and the US have with China is not necessarily that they are exporting cars, but the way that they are doing it. European and American car manufacturers are unable to compete with their Chinese counterparts because the Chinese Government actively funds and supports these companies in a manner which isn't consistent with international trade law. It would be only fair if the Chinese car manufacturers were completely separated from the state, which is unlikely due to the structure of their mixed command-market economy.

    China is effectively using its large population and area to produce products so cheap that world fears them of coming in there own markets,
    Only exception is India ,having population similar to China , even more younger but still even not come half way of China in manufacturing and skilled labourers, its all because of mindset and lack of vision for long term ,
    Bloody democracy 😔.
    If this is democracy, then I don't want it , what the benefits of democracy if Chinese have better life, more purchasing power, better currency, everything better than any democracy.
    As, an Indian ,i admire China as true world leader, who is controlling everything in world right now,.
    Just west and some people are trying to defame them , who never visited China .
    If have doubt, go watch vloggers who have travelled China ,they will tell you truth .
    And please don't call me chinese bot, iam not bot.

      The basic things are digitising every inch of land records so real estate ownership details are visible online and fixing bad laws like gender biased laws, legalising prenup, mandating bodycams to Police, mandating CCTV in Police stations, etc. But instead of doing these important things, Modi does timepass and (relatively)useless stuff.
      The problem in India is that people try to force their personal morals onto society. Food habits, dressing, live-in, sleeping around, etc. Only absolutely necessary things needed without which society cannot function should be forced and let people decide what they want for all other things.

    The governments goal is that by 2025 100% of new cars sold will be Electric.
    And by 2050, most vehicles will be Electric.
    If the EU wants to become Electric then make it cheaper to have an Electric vehicle than fossil fueled.

Milk consumption has rapidly decreased in China in recent years, so putting high tariffs on imported milk would not hurt China's economy at all. If anything, it would help struggling domestic dairy producers. However, even without tariffs on dairy, European exporters are bound to see declines in sales to China.
