US wary of Mexican gateway as it increases tariffs on Chinese EVs • FRANCE 24 English 

The US has lost the ability to compete.

When you can’t compete you ban them ! 😂😂😂 this is American hypocrisy at its best

It is free trade when I have the edge, it is unfair competition when I am losing

This proves that Ev was never about the environment. It was control. If they really cared for the environment they would let the Chinese Ev be sold here at very cheap.

If the Chinese government can subsidize EV cars for worldwide consumers, why can't the American government subsidize just for its own people?

US is just showing us how free market and market economy work. Firstly, if you lost in the competition, label your rival as OVERCAPACITY. Secondly, just impose tarrif even before rival EVs haven't even entered your market. Thirdly, pressure your allies to comply in show of loyalty.

This is typical American behavior - not following international rules when they are not able to put up a fair competition. Shame!

Everything is “CONCERN” and a “TREATH” when you can’t compete 🤣😂

China is always a couple of steps ahead. Which means we are always a couple of steps behind. Don't blame the opponent, blame ourselves.

A shame for the US because BYD cars are very, very good

Dannnn you. Now I know why I am paying $102,000 for my Ford F150.

still be a lot cheaper in USA with 100% tariffs

don't buy affordable chinese cars, buy expensive cars for car industry

I am American, and I am against the tariffs. I prefer a cheap $10,000 electric car over boosting American car company stock. One will increase my quality of life, and the other will make a few wealthy people more prosperous.

China did subsidies ALL EVs sold in China, including Tesla. US only subsidies US companies.

When the Western countries exported their vehicles to the rest of the world is promoting international trade and when China exports its EVs is overcapacity and causing the concerns! It is a great example of double standards work at its best!

You built American factory in China, but doesn't want competition from China in home soil... Stop being childish

As Mexican I will buy a Chinese vehicle over an American vehicle. The USA is now producing over price junk. They lost the pride to produce great products. Everything they produce is expensive and not good quality.

China should apply a 100% tariff on all Boeing aircraft ... we all know that Boeing is heavily subsidized by the US Government through military and space contracts.

If its done to tesla by china , we will never here the end of it, "Free Market" "Over Capacity"

It is not a problem for China if the US impose tariffs on China products. That’s the prerogative of the US to impose new trade tariffs on EV’s and other China green energy imports. The 100% tariff by the US on EV will hurt the lower income Americans most as it deprave the lower income Americans from owning an inexpensive and good EV for their daily transportation. The 100% tariff is a tax levied on cheap China EV that the lower income Americans have to pay in order to owns an EV from China made models. Other countries will be able to enjoy an inexpensive and affordable car within their means Instead of focusing on ideological differences, the US should provides a solid foundation for pragmatic cooperation aiming at strengthening connectivity across the world. Instead US should leverage the thriving Chinese economy as a substantial market and foster stronger connections. Decoupling from China or de-risking with China is neither practical nor necessary and poisoning the relationship by decoupling or de-risking resulted in the lost of opportunity. But instead, the US discourage China and other countries from challenging the US leadership or seeking to overturn the established political and economic order. The US must maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors in other countries from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role. The major US objective is to safeguard US interests and promote US foreign policy. The US will not tolerate any objection that threatens US hegemony regarding US interests and US foreign policy. If necessary, the US must be prepared to take unilateral action. The US like to portrays other countries as an antagonists and as well as an adversary when the US face with competition in technology and high-tech industries that the US regard it as their domains and sphere of influence and will not accept any competition from another country. The US accuse China of excess capacity in green energy. The US like to use ambiguous words like decoupling, derisking, and tariffs in implementing trade barriers and economic sanctions against China. The US wanted to destroys China and its economy in order to prevent China from competing with the US. The US multiple sanctions is a deliberate attempt by the US to obliterate China in its economic and trade war against China. The US sanctions has long been a diplomatic and economic tool used by US seeking to influence others. The dense bureaucratic jargon and minute technical detail is a declaration of economic war on China. The US is full of mischief by creating trouble and exerting its power and hegemony as well as economic dominance all over the world.

GM has been claiming BYDs sales as their own for years.

China respects US as her best teacher but now China laughs at US due to it double standards and hypocrisy 😂

Its a pity for americans to have to buy the expensive and bad qulity The West's EVs. 🙄

The EU is working on its own tariffs.

Place 100% tariffs on them, then they will never sell in the US. Taiwan has been doing that over the past some 7 decades since the end of WWII, imposing 100% tariffs on imported auto vehicles. And it has been very effective, and even helps prevent Taiwan from developing its own auto industry. And that's why Taiwan still doesn't really have its auto industry.

Let's wait and see how this is going to end up for both.

I want Affordable EV Cars made in China. US has no affordable EV Cars.

We in the west always sleepwalking into death

I live in Mexicali (border town to California) and I just saw a new BYD office

They put a chinese American 😂😂😂 as spokesperson they trying to look good😂😂..

Important details for BYD is according to USMCA treaty, to avoid import duty 75% of parts need to be made in Canada, Mexico or in the USA…

Chinese companies would probably not consider selling in US in the near future given the political uncertainty. It is so cost ineffective. Their investment on dealships, on service centres could be voided at any moment if suddenly the government decided to turn hostile on them.

Tbh, watching the speed of building ev charging stations in america, no chinese ev companies will crave for american market

embrace the change, and embrace austerity

We should heavily tariff Mexico immediately

If a car company wants to import cars into China the tariffs range from 25% to 47% plus 17% VAT. They don't mind their own import tariffs.

China has no subsidies for EV - subsidies ended in 2022. US, meanwhile has subsidies for EV manufacturers, and buyers.

GM union factory workers in Mexico make US$3.25 an hour building cars. Chinese auto worker US$300 to $400 a month. We just have to tell American workers they need to drop their pay I guess.

BYD will likely just end up _manufacturing_ US-legal models at a US plant. Reason: there are good number of abandoned auto factories that Ford, GM and Chrysler used to operate that could be rebuilt into a BYD assembly line in the midwestern USA.

It's only fair that the US reciprocate likewise.

American CEOs have the right to defend their humble income!

Is this guy really an analyst 😅??? US car manufacturers including tesla received on an average 10 times the subsidies that China car manufacturers received, but still remains more competitive than the US. It is more about mastering the production and supply chains, and offering better products overall in terms of quality, options and reliability.

It was all rosy when they dominated the chinese market

The US is a losing in every way so pathetically

Bro just compete 😂😂😂😂

exxon tells u.s gov't to keep selling ICE cars...

So much for competition

So much for USA’s belief in the free market.

@3:10 over 100 brands of battery car makers competing in the US! What are these brands other than the major US & foreign players???!!! Tesla & Rivian - who else is there that just make battery clown cars??!!!

It is free market until the US couldnt compete. 😂😂

Cutting the competition is the wrong way to do this.

Now all of a sudden they'll figure out how to secure the southern border...

A Chinese American tells us why they have their eye on Chinese auto imports, then a Chinese Chinese tells us about their strategy. This is a circus

The US sent the jobs to China. Trained the Chinese to build technological products for Americans markets. The US will buy products made by Chinese companies for American companies to sell to Americans. But they won’t buy Chinese products made by Chinese companies to sell to Americans? ??????

🎉 what happened to the free market and and free trade?

More Evs.. more competition.. make it cheaper

Tariff just get passed on to the consumers. Dumb decision. Be competitive thru innovation and efficiency.

You hear what she said it doesn't matter if Chinese have a Mexican E.V. plant the Chinese will trade with other countries who participate in E.V. agreement through FreeTrade agreement, not necessarily the United States. If this happens, how vulnerable will it be for the United States to not except E.V. when trading is part of our country economic backbone. Without the Free-trade market, how will the country United States conduct business and keep it shareholders in the stock market.

Just sanction on those you dont like

Made in Mexico I’ll buy it

Although it is produced in Mexico, it does not enter the U.S. market. It doesn’t matter how much U.S. taxes are added. U.S. brands produce cars in China and compete with Chinese companies, but there are no American brands in new cars on the road now.

I really prefer BYD.. so much more afforable.

If GM and Ford can do it why not China

The majority of Americans desire modern Chinese cars, but the US government won't let them. Is this what you call free trade and democracy?

20k electric car?? I don’t think I wanna drive that. The battery may explode on you

kick apple and Tesla out of China

🤣🤣🤣 U S A has made China EVs Luxury Brands.....Katherine Tai is such a sharp person in a tough situation.... BYD Chief of America says we dont give a 😂😂😂😂

China has phased out EV subsidies by the end of 2022.

US, a market leader that can't compete

If they are worried about it, then they should change the rules and put the tariff on Mexico also 😂. It’s that easy.

Today american cars are not popular in Mexico, because bad quality and high prices. Today chinese, japanese and korean brands.

It's simple, the US does not like competition and improves its products for the people

That BYD truck in the video thumbnail is a rip-off of a Ford F-150.

not everything is about you.America.Just not that into you.

USA already bought byd busses in California" California Transit Association’s Annual Fall Conference in Monterey that the Los Angeles Department of Transportation ordered 130 of its battery-electric K7M buses, the largest single order of battery-electric buses to date in the United States.

The dragon is here. I’m grateful I am Asian and can relocate lol

How many people would really trust driving a Chinese car!!? lol get real. Go ahead pair your Bluetooth. And that truck looks like an F150 lolol

The US needs to send their boarder guards and stop the Chinese cars since these boarder guards got nothing to do anyway.

US auto industry is so paranoid!

The US never learned its lesson when Japanese cars came to the US. The arrogance and lack of innovation doomed US car manufacturing forever.

Free market hypocrites

Do US citizens has the right to buy cars in foreign country and go with it in US

Left behind 😂

Mexico should build their own electric cars.

those affordable EVs will find their way to global south....

Insist on certificate of origin

How the tune has changed...US the bastion of free trade. Hilarious

When you can't defeat you join them

What a great opportunity for Mexico to get rid of u.s. cars that are over priced and have bad quality. Good for Mexico to welcome cheap Chinese vehicles that work and that are efficient. The vehicles don’t need to be a big bulk like the u.s. ones

NAFTA shouldn’t exist. You can’t have free trade agreements between countries with vastly different costs of living. This is why auto and other manufacturing has moved from the US and Canada to Mexico. It would have made more sense to have free trade between Canada, the US and EU.

The US can’t compete with China fairly 😂😂😂

why don’t US make cheaper car like Chinese did? This is good for both and the world.

The rest of the world will grow with affordable cars. Americans will sell their homes to pay for their cars.

Not long they're going to pass a law to ban BYD and forcing it to be given up for sale. Tiktok has led the way😂🤣😂🤣😂

People will drive the BYD's across the border.

It's a weird game already lost, it's like one little guy's fighting against 10 powerful well trained giants. The scale of China is beyond what the Americans ability can provide to deal with.

I really hope the Chinese EVs flood the markets in all nations of the world.

what a sore losers lol

This administration is so concerned about the environment and there push towards electric cars but the environment can only be saved by American EV lol
