For years, both EU and US auto manufacturers made substantial profits in China. Over many years, China had the foresight and invested wisely to develop its EV industry and reduce its carbon foot print. Because the Western gov'ts cannot tolerate or politically handle such a challenge, they impose tariffs in an effort to stamp out China's economic progress. Doesn't sound like capitalism at all. I am on China's side.

China started out by stealing the design of any manufacturer’s products,and by building the exact same model vehicle in a Chinese factory. China’s counterfeit industry is still making duplicates of every manufacturer’s products. China is in trouble economically, and the Chinese want to export their products and thereby save their economy. China has been siding with Putin, and the world has to stop Russian aggression towards Ukraine, and bring Chinese leadership back to a more realistic good neighborly position.

@carnivore_scalper 27 дней назад

Looks like your a "Ho" for chinese propaganda. EU will follow US lead on keeping or bringing back key industries, withdrawing from the ultra-globalist stance of the late 90s, the noughties and 2010s. It's a simple to understand policy == keep jobs inside your own market to keep your voters happy. And if that requires tariffs to equalize the playing field. So be it. If the Chinese can't see that, they're acting or being stupid. BIZ will always bitch and moan about losing profitability, but then they'll wake up and come up with new stuff to replace the lost profit - - or they'll wither and die. All part of the normal biz cycles.

regardless of whatever conclusion the WTO comes to, it has no enforcement for either party. This economic policy is stated to maintain the domestic car industry but like a lot of markets these are captured markets by industry with little innovation drive that are now feeling the pressure from international manufacturing, that were largely domestically financed as well, and now using political pressures to maintain their market capital.

Not only consumers but the US auto makers will hurt. GM sells 1/3 of its vehicles in China. Tesla has a large market share in China too. If and when China retaliates, GM will probably go bust. Tesla will be in big trouble as they just laid off 14,000 workers last month. Ford will also suffer. Chrysler might survive only because of its parent company, Stelantis. Instead of trying to compete with these Chinese EVs, which is what they need to do, they won't. They will try to sell overpriced expensive vehicles. This might work in the US, but it will not work in any export market. We will soon see the day when these US auto makers will be pushed out of every market. They will only be in the US and Canada. I don't know if GM can survive with that. They already lost Vauxhall/Opel in Europe and Holden folded in Australia last year. The only hope they have is the developing world. A world where the US government is making it harder and harder for them to compete in. China will dominate the developing world. They already have massive presence in South and Central America and a growing presence even in Europe. They will dominate Asia too.

In developing its strategy, It's no surprise China drew heavily on the experience of Tesla, one of the US's most innovative companies that was encountering head winds in its own domain. It has been a very clever strategy but also a gamble. However, it now looks like being very successful. He who chances wins.

From the many reviews I have read on Chinese cars, they appear to be good quality and very well made. US manufacturers are not competitive in the EV space, as most EVs here are too expensive for the average buyer. Also, those cars cost more to insure and repair. What has become obvious is that Chinese manufacturers like BYD are much farther ahead of the US and Europe in making EVs. Their battery technology is better, and their cars are more affordable. US tariffs protect our car industry, which would collapse if companies like BYD entered the market. Tariffs prove that GM, Ford and Stellantis cannot effectively compete with China. Not even Tesla seems up to that challenge. Thus, it will take the US and Europe longer to transition to clean energy. In the meantime, the rest of the world will be buying cheaper, better-made EVs made in China. The future does not look too bright for the old ICE companies.

America is trying to postpone the transition, because we over here are so obsessed with big gas behemoths, and the E.U. is trying to delay so that their manufacturers can catch up and not die.

Every government should be putting tariffs on large combustion engines ! We should have started doing it 30 years ago to slow down the use of fossil fuels. It would have sped up the use of batteries. We'd be in a completely different place today . We would have met The 1.5 c limit. But because government s have been swayed by petroleum companies across the world, we are not going to meet the 1.5 and we'll probably exceed 3° c before we start turning.

Any reduction in atmospheric carbon lowers global food production and promotes starvation. The Vostok samples proved the earth was much warmer 150k years ago despite having much lower carbon levels. Climate change "science" is the invention of Oligarchs seeking new methods of taxation to finance their wealth.

I am not chinese, but I am tired of hearing the economic wars and sanctions initiated by the West. I think China and the West should completely decouple and go seperate ways. Like an unhappy marriage that needs to end. They don't have to be enemies or friends, just stop talking to each others. May be then the world will be a much quieter place.

@globaltreasures02100 28 дней назад

China has been using tariffs on many countries as well. China has targeted many industries like wind turbines, solar panels, drug manufacturing, chemical, manufacturing, gene sequencing, low end chip manufacturing, rear earths, steel manufacturing, and the list goes on. They do this by pump and dump, lower the cost of the product until the competition is crushed. China has had and increasingly more so today state owned companies that can produce things at below cost for long periods of time to wipe competitors. If countries want to keep its own citizens employed and increase their own productivity they need markets to sell to. If China is the only country making things to sell then we will all suffer in the long term.

Total BS mate. Western profit margins are 5-10 times higher. Labour cost is much lower in China. Supply chain eco system is the most complete n at low cost. People work harder too (efficiency). Mass production benefit as well. The West can't compete period.

@globaltreasures02100 27 дней назад

@@roddiechan Without profit margin you would not have a job, well unless you work for the government. Or maybe you work the 9/6. 9 hour days 6 days a week 50 weeks a year like Chinese. Have a look at the Chinese steel industry, they killed of the us steel industry, now there is so much over supply there own manufacturers are going broke. Same in the electric car industry in china massive over supply companies you've most likely never heard of, going bust every month from over supply in the industry. Most people that talk like you get paid western wages in the west from a western created economy that exists because of jobs in western counties with profit margin. If western countries have no export markets, the balance trade goes negative and you end up in trillions of debt just like the USA and decimated industries with no money for R&D. Obviously you narrow minded or make money from China imports, by low sell high, Which is it?

@mintheman7 27 дней назад

⁠@@globaltreasures02100So much ignorance and false “facts” in your statements. Imported Chinese steel was only 0.6% of USA steel usage, that’s why tripling the tariff means nothing and is only election year shenanigans. US steel industry couldn’t compete with Japan or Korea, and was long died before the Chinese even ramp us their own industry.

@esphilee 26 дней назад

Don’t blame China. US has transferred manufacturing to Japan first. When the Japanese labour gets higher, it got shifted to South Korea, then it got shifted to Taiwan, finally to China. China did not rob US’s job. US business has been giving them away long before Chinese Citizen could own a car.
